Life can be a struggle

With struggle

We find joy 

The pleasurable winter stores ran out months ago

Surviving off the beans and rice with the occasional chicken breast

The sweet natural sugars of the frozen strawberry now only in memory

And the canned peaches lastly eaten from a dinner well served has left me longly in desire 

The cold left over a month ago

The sun has been gracing my sight, my body, and the earth 

The water flows

The berry bushes blossom

The fruit trees flower

The garden becomes Alive!!

As is my Spirit!!
