And.. My Poem
Front Yard
Scraping my knuckles
as I wrestle weeds from
between the stones in our drive,
I aspire to be
like the old men I see
house-proud, meticulous,
tending their front lawn
like a meditation
not a chore

Beautiful…
I’d forgotten about the artist’s date — I used to do that regularly. Thanks for the reminder! TW
Ohh! Jamie… I love your poem so much! What if everything we did became a lovely meditation and not a chore. I love “meticulous and house proud”… just beautiful and a wonderful way to live life! You are such an inspiration and your morning videos are like visiting with a friend. Thanks Jamie!
