Prompt:

"Welcome"

Late in winter we prepared for you.

We pruned those who needed it

in their dormacy.

We fertilized you with rotted manure from the cows;

and although this may not have seemed so nice...

we had hopes for you

and we knew what you needed.

The spring came

and the rains,

 

and with them your leaves burst with bright green

and the little baby berries made us dream.

Now you give us fruit.

We welcome your gracious bounty.

God has bathed you with sunshine

watered you in your time of need,

and now in the heat,

your berries droop

and you give us the chance to enjoy sweet rewards,

to teach our children the value of hard work

and planning,

and hoping,

and counting,

Each must pick their share

so that when they eat their raspberry pancakes

in the cold of January's winter snowy storms,

they will remember

and

our work

 

will seem to them

worth the toil.

They will taste it's sweetness.
