"Second Fruits" is one of my favorite poems. You don't know what Life will throw you and how you will respond, but I'm a firm believer in second chances after a less than stellar response to things we encounter. I also believe that if we have a strong foundation early in life, we will return to those roots that can help us to flourish once more.
