What Makes The Cherry Red

Wait for it
The fruit within the fruit
That reminds you
What makes the cherry red
What sap went through that little thread
To make the cherry red
Here’s the line break
To remind you
There’s been a struggle
Frost that kills the leaves
Can’t harm the roots
They still grow in frozen ground
Victory won’t come
Until this little thread
Ties a knot
Under over gone
Grasps and pulls along
And forgives us our decay
