Retrieve, Reprieve, Review
Sometimes the garden of our lives gets overgrown
And we can’t keep up with the weeds -
So we end up letting other things slide because
Certain things come first, like making sure
We can get to every game our children play at
Sometimes the garden looks so pretty overgrown
From the distance of whatever porch you look from
Even the stuff that may not belong there -
Or the stuff from the compost pile of memories
Of things that once were important but just, they are just…
Sometimes the garden takes up all of our time
To set it right – to make it productive that we let
The process be all consuming as we wait for the fruits
Of our labors…so we don’t write…or draw…or answer
Those back burner things because they are so far back…
~~~
seasons
continue to
pass as we
look them straight on -
life
