"the garden" by C. Amanda Auffant

I am thankful here
Where I am, standing strong and firm
It is here where I will grow my roots
In the rich soil of gratefulness

My hands may they sprout kindness
May they be fruitful and plenty
To help others plant their roots here
No matter their ethnicity 

I found a home in the garden of healthcare
So no matter the sun or rain or drought
I'll embrace you with my heart open wide
Because I'm a healthcare worker, and caring is what it is all about.
