Every Day

Every day,

In every way …

I’m tendin’,

Tendin’ to

My garden.

These emerald

Green leaves

Wave “Hello”

To me

And welcome

Me back.

They center me,

Like long lost friends

Coming home

To reunite.

These chartreuse

Serpentine vines

Hug me

When I

Need reassurance.

They calm me,

Like a mother’s

Sweet embrace.

Every day,

In every way …

I’m tendin’,

Tendin’

To my garden.

These juicy scarlet

Cherry tomatoes

Remind me of

My vibrance,

My vitality.

They inspire me,

Like spreading a

Freshly loaded paintbrush

Onto a newly stretched canvas.

These abundant ears

Of golden corn

Beckon to me.

With every

Buttery kernel,

An epic sunrise

Of possibility.

They surprise me,

Like a newly born baby

Arriving ahead

Of schedule.

Every day,

In every way …

I’m tendin’,

Tendin’

To my garden.

These fragrant

Chantilly

White blossoms

Perfume my days.

They excite me,

Like knowing

Any minute

A lover is about

To call or show.

These puckery

Mandarin

Orange groves,

Wink like

Flashing traffic lights.

They alert me,

Like a sign

Warning me

Of what’s

Around

Life’s curves.

Every day,

In every way …

I’m tendin’,

Tendin’

To my garden.

These hearty

Clusters of

Magenta grapes

Huddle together

Like team members

Before a game.

They encourage me.

Like the ongoing

Support of a

Loving family

And close-knit friends.

Every day,

In every way …

I’m takin’

Care of me.

I’m gettin’ sleep.

I’m eatin’ right.

I’m breathin’ in

‘N’ breathin’ out.

Goin’ places.

Doin’ things.

Meetin’ people.

Makin’ things right,

‘Cuz every day,

In every way …

I’m gettin’ better.

Reachin’ higher,

Reachin’ farther.

Stretchin’

And growin’

Evolvin’

Movin'

And becomin’

My very best –

‘Cuz every day

In every way …

I’m tendin’,

Tendin’

To my garden.
