Greens Instead lyrics

Fate does not always show itself

The intended plans fail to thrive

The ingenious will survive without

Plant what is best to live fulfilled

Space is a valued asset timed

Sun and shadow struggle daily

Those casting over stunt the meek

Observe extending life and abide

Sow that which is most giving

Though not choice, sustaining

Leaves and finally roots constant

May substitute expectations yet

The fruits awaited fill nothing

The climate may not give way

Variables of luck and fortune

Unpredictable results in the end

What grows of its own accord

Deemed weeds, uncultivated

First to show in budding spring

Last to succumb to the snows

They keep bellies full in famine

Or when funds are too low to pay

What is forage untamed here

Carries over to those grown there

In this world there is always bounty

A boone by lore and practice

Discerning living sustenance

A healthful collecting celebration
