Berries of protection,

Women carry them with grace,

Wards off the outer evils,

Sacred marriage now embrace,

A symbol of abundance,

Generosity and gifts,

For mother nature’s bounty,

Soothes the spirit and uplifts,

A source of nectar for the bees,

A food source for the birds,

Resilient and adaptable,

So are these written words,

America the beautiful,

A beautyberry poem,

And so this berry’s meaning,

Is to now know you are home.
