The infant flower opens its bud and cries,
"Dear World, please do not fade."
It is the tears of the earth
that keep her smiles in bloom.
Tiny grass,
your steps are small,
but you possess the earth under your tread.
The woodcutter's axe begged for its handle from the tree.
The tree gave it.
"How far are you from me, O Fruit?"
"I am hidden in your heart, O Flower."
The great earth makes herself hospitable
with the help of the grass.
Which of these makes for a good signature?
