Flags

I have seen your garden growing madly.

There I find you, hands in the earth.

I have heard you talking with your children,

on your level, never talking down.

And I don't know how you cannot see

where your gifts may be found.

You say

you know no tricks, have no talents-

isn't everyone supposed to have their own?

Yes, but few are obvious.

Few draw notice to those who possess them,

like flags waving themselves.

And you wonder how,

how I can say

that your gifts do abound.

I don't know how

you cannot see

where your gifts may be found.

Do you understand

when I say

that your gifts do abound
