Vitamin Awe




How does the tender bush leaf know
To grow in such a way!
To make its surface, flat and smooth,
Still curve to catch the rain?
How do the water drops decide
To congregate, just so!
To fall and join and then divide
To stand in perfect rows?
They gleam atop these small green plates
A silent, ordered feast
That eyes may see and lives may taste
And praise may be increased.
