What Awaits

There’s much to learn while I have time

and it’s mostly

of a softer,

slower kind. I’d

like to walk my land and name each

flower, shrub, and

tree, match each bird

with its song, note

the patterns of the nighttime sky.

All this and more

awaits my eye,

my heart, my time.

    What a beautiful poem. I’ve read it over and over. I’m printing it out and taking it home. Literally and figuratively. Thank you Joan. Janie
