I didn’t deserve this
I didn’t plant the seed or bulb
I didn’t tend or care for it properly
It was just there when we moved in
Then the blackberry brambles took over
and one day my fearless sons decided
to clear them out
and oh yeah, I forgot there was a camellia under there
and now look what is happening
grace upon grace
undeserved favor
is smiling on me
with every open bloom on this bush
