Our lymphatic system flows within Connected to our plant ancestors, kin A network of vessels, fluid and nodes Bringing balance to all that it goes Just like the veins in a leaf or stem Our own channels carry life within From the roots up to the highest bough Our bodies and plants, forever connected now So let us honor and respect the green For without it, our own lives would be mean Our plant ancestors, they give us breath Nourishing us, until our very death
