In honor of this most auspicious occasion,
may your day be filled with wonder.
In my pocket
I shall carry
all that does hold value
Hope
and Faith
a little Love, perhaps
Validation for the Work that I do
Good Wishes for others walking their path
Support for the ones now discouraged
Reinforcement for folks one day at a time
Reminders: Don’t hurry or worry
Goodness and Guidance based on the greats,
those wordsmiths who altered the future
Kindness and Honor toward others I meet
Awareness that we all endure,
are The Light
Never underestimate
Acacia.
Redolence afloat on slightest breeze.
Beckoning to all of those awakened.
Reducing weak and mighty to their knees.
Never underestimate
Her Motive.
Attracting well-to-do like honey bees.
Undeterred by stinger, swarm or danger
Standing firm; calming, perfect frieze.
Never underestimate
Her Power.
Seeming fragile, aiming to appease.
Cloaked in gentle beauty, thorns aplenty.
Come, draw near, draws blood, and then disease.
Sweet, Sweet Acacia.
You’d be wise to avoid her.
