Some of us mother
The world, animals, and birds
Love so deep and wide.
Some of us mother
The world, animals, and birds
Love so deep and wide.
Country life sets well
Gives me time and space to breathe
While horses nicker.
Rainy Sunday nap
Chihuahua snores between us
Cat purrs at my side.
Shrubs sing and vibrate
Parents fly fast in and out
Hungry mouths to feed.
Brings horse out by car
Grooms from her trunk and then gets
On from the bumper.
Around the pond ducks
Set up their nest in tall grass
Green heron returns
Taken for granted
New roll of toilet tissue
A button for heat
Laden with spring buds
Bare trees glow with fresh new growth
Color dots woodlands.
Wind chimes sing a tune
Pine trees sway as winter moves
Leaving room for spring.
The seasons move on
Yet my palette still says fall
And the birds sing spring.
