A Gift Gathered, A Gift Given, A Gift Good

strawberries, blueberries, apples, and pumpkins,

 all gathered with the givers of

small blue rocks, a giant red leaf, and notes scrawled with hearts;

 with dirt under their fingernails and marker stains on their shirt sleeves, 

they are leaf pile jumpers and big mess makers

and sprites, the whole lot;

and good, oh so good, with lovely hearts that show big love.
