Flags

I have seen your garden growing madly.
There I find you, hands in the earth.
I have heard you talking with your children,
on your level, never talking down.

And I don't know how you cannot see
where your gifts may be found.

You say
you know no tricks, have no talents-
isn't everyone supposed to have their own?
Yes, but few are obvious.
Few draw notice to those who possess them,
like flags waving themselves.

And you wonder how,
how I can say
that your gifts do abound.

I don't know how
you cannot see
where your gifts may be found.
Do you understand
when I say
that your gifts do abound
