For the many teachers and mentors in my life:
As the cycle goes, I realize I have dropped a few seeds of my own – each with a bit of you in them.
I laugh because they have no idea.
For those I can plant, I will plant.
For those I can water, I will water.
For those I can shine on, I will shine on.
For those I can help prune and pull, I will prune and pull.
I will plant, water, shine, pull, and prune when I can because you did it for me.
