...I'll let the sun fuse my body to the earth<br> and gather warmth.<br> I'll heed a simple sermon<br> and gather faith.<br> I'll hold my dear ones near me<br> and gather love.<br> Then if the time should come per chance<br> When all these treasures seem beyond my reach<br> I'll dip into the secret of my mind<br> And find them where I tucked them<br> On another day.<p> -An excerpt from Ingathering
