Grains of Hope
An Inspirational Poem
Sprouts. Yes, sprouts. They're not something one usually thinks of as comforting, but are.
Their growth is hope that literally springs eternal, found where few would think of.
And that's what hope is…He (She) loves a good game of hide and seek. One which we always win.
Enjoy this little stanza. And well, vegetables!

Taste of grain sprouts, sits quiet on the tongue
Brings warmth in winter’s frigid chill
They blend too soft notes of a familiar song
Their tiny shoots glimmer for tired eyes
As they bathe in the breath of fresh Earth.

You'll Never Know What You're Gonna Get
If you’re a Forrest Gump fan, you’ll know what he says about chocolates. Yes, life is, indeed, a box of chocolates, with some pieces being, to put it mildly, acquired tastes. But each taste is a significant piece of the puzzles that are our lives. We notice the differences, however subtle, as we take little nibbles.
