happy birthday, ginger {and to everyone... happy first day of Spring}

i have seen your garden growing madly

there i find you, hands in the earth

i have heard you talking with your children

on your level, never talking down

and i don't know how you cannot see

where your gifts may be found

you say you know no tricks, have no talents

isn't everyone supposed to have their own?

yes, but few are obvious

few draw notice to those who possess them

like flags waving themselves

and you wonder how you cannot see

that your gifts do abound

i don't know how you cannot see

where your gifts may be found

do you understand when i say

that your gifts do abound?

{lyrics to flags by the innocence mission}
