GRATITUDE
Flame azaleas by the pond,
Redbud blooms have come and gone.
A house finch pair are nesting here
In my blue spruce another year.
May’s full moon is safely past:
We’ll put tomatoes out at last.
Down the lake my kayak arrows;
Tadpoles swarm within the shallows.
I thank whatever gods there be
For good health and longevity.
