Like plants we need both

 weeding and pruning if we’re

 to keep on growing.

Uneventful days

are days I’ve come to treasure

with each passing year.

What’s a walk without

a roll, Knox asks, as I stand

not a tad enthralled.

JDG

Small accomplishments

can be satisfying in

a really big way.

JDG

Where did those words go?

 They were beating with my heart

just moments ago.

JDG

Not one more word was

needed, but I found a few

nevertheless.

JDG

Softly the wind blows,

whispering memories of

summer days long past.

JDG

Instead of gambling

with my health, I chose to fold.

Today’s a new day.
