Planting for the future


The pleasure we derive 
From the forethought of others — 
The cherry trees whose blossoms 
Are so pleasing in the spring; 
The institutions and the laws 
That bless future generations— 
All serve to remind us 
That, though what we plant now 
May not bear fruit for many years, 
It’s still worth planting, as a gift 
For those whose lives have yet to bloom.
