Daily 11/3/2025 - Item photo is on an 8x10in frame that is wall hanging or free standing.

You are a gardener.
You plant seeds.
Mostly flowers.
Imagine you are one?

A beautiful wild flower.
Red, yellow.
Black speckles.
In the sun.

You live a long life.
You spread many seeds.
Soon a field full of flowers exists.
So many vivid colors.

One day you wake up;
Slept through a storm.
Heard nothing.
Claimed the others.

You are still here.
You came from the first seed.
Just because your family is gone;
they still existed.

Important knowledge.
You need to know.
YOU ARE YOUR ANCESTORS.
Don't get it twisted.
