If sunshine were four - leaf clovers,
My friend, you are Sun! Sugar
And space, and all that’s twice-told;
Snips and tails and kitten wails,
And all a life can hold.

If soil were a tomato plant,
My friend, you are Earth! Fecund
And sowed and birthed, thrice-told;
Friends behold a miracled take,
As much as a life can hold.

If air were a garden-fair,
My friend, you are Atmosphere! Humid
And ripe and gorgeously timed, fore-told;
Cats and dogs gather at your gate,
As many as a life can hold.

If fluid was a swirling Moon,
My friend, you are Water! Vaporous
Embryos rise to greet full dawn! Proudly bold,
Jacket-backed, we all subscribe to water,
Fated to how a seeded-life unfolds.

If life can hold a soul like you,
My friend, you are Life! Vivid
And sassy, classy, garden-nailed, I hold
Flowers and you, my love, in the air we make
As much as our lives can hold.
