Recycled Pledge - Sept. 28, 2026

a seed is a package of promises

waiting for rain

 

a baby is a package of promises

waiting for affection

 

both take their time, checking off

each promise, one after the next

 

a lifetime of them, properly ordered

leads to the final hurdle,

 

the moment a sunflower explodes,

becomes its own sun,

and someone’s love

triggers another’s heart

 

do you see the pattern? 

 

life is the recycled pledge of giving

for life to become a surprise
