Today Foretold of Summer
(May 2nd, 2020)
Today foretold of summer
Hot sun upon our backs
Pulling weeds from the glen
Filling bucket after bucket
Dark earth sifted in my fingers
Pressing moist between my toes
Breathing air fresh from the trees
Nurturing all below
Little hands worked hard with mine
Working-games with glee
What fun it is to work the earth
While small ones work beside me!
