RENAISSANCE

Plant the seed, water it fully,

Knowing other gard’ners will come,

Hope and pray with all your hard work,

The new gard’ners have a green thumb;

Years go by, and you are long gone,

The plants are tended by others,

They’ve ruined your dream of beauty,

Your plants don’t listen to mothers;

A gard’ner sees this great problem,

Stands up boldly, and says, ‘No more!’

With others understanding this,

They fully seek dream to restore;

Starting to dig up the problem,

They find the masters’ wondrous plan,

Vowing to follow it fully,

It spreads like fire throughout the land;

What seemed to be a vision lost,

Is now on brink of salvation,

The dream realized is now fruitful,

The People saved a great Nation!
