"Happy happenstance of serendipity // Saved in my own backyard by the likes of these / Volunteer nasturtiums and wild sweet-peas"

Volunteer Nasturtiums and Wild Sweet-Peas for my son Stevie II and his friend Julia Volunteer nasturtiums and wild sweet-peas There just as they were a hundred years ago Saved in my own backyard by the likes of these My immortal soul decides to not let go Of the promise offered me this day in May By the things I know and which I do not know Since I like it here I will not go away I can go out wandering but then come back Visit with these hummingbirds and buzzing bees What I have is more important than my lack It must be for a reason I am like this And the way I am is not so bad to me Here in my backyard embracing this sweet kiss Happy happenstance of serendipity Saved in my own backyard by the likes of these Volunteer nasturtiums and wild sweet-peas +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV
