Stones and Flowers

And to the stones, I say
        despite the bitter sting
 of all those cast my way
                I’ll still find songs to sing

 And when I touch the flowers
        and know their sweet perfume
 I’ll satisfy the hours
  though thorns may trim the bloom

 May all of life in consequence
     with nods to to sun and showers
 keep me in the mindful sense
         to love the stones and flowers
