Day: August 1, 2022

One look around

You become a judge

Not too much effort

Obviousness prevails

Some people care

Others do not

I see a garden with a flourish

Another with rot

Some make a pretty picture

Others a patch of despair

I think about indifference

How long can it wear?

Too many weeds

Not enough rain

Weathers hot

Lost are the dreams

The proud ones smile

Rock on their porch

Make no judgements

Leave that to us

Soon will be the frost

Then what will it matter?

Another year and wait until next

The crux of all the chatter

Someone wondered

How much sod

Had to be removed

In order to make a garden

Quite a bit was the answer

I handed him two shovels

A wheelbarrow and

My very best wishes

I am exhausted, but

There is much to do

No quitting at this time

More time to renew

So I look at options

Choose a path to travel

Get the show together

Before it begins to unravel

Angels do no waiting

They have their orders

Proceed with every duty

Regardless of hall or corridor

Dark angels get in our way

Encourage us to slow down

Set up obstacles and roadblocks

Smile at our stumbling frown

But light overtakes this darkness

We pick up our pieces of courage

What once seemed impossible

Is nothing more than a mirage

I take a breath of fresh air

My load now seems lighter

I pick up my tools and begin

My day seems so much brighter
