I've been planting and tending
for over eighty years.
Many years the crop has failed
spectacularly:
ruin and devastation as far as
my eye could see.
Heartbreak.
And then, like any good gardener,
I'd gather new strength,
spade the soil again,
and replant.
Over and over I'd play
this theme of failure.
I'm ready now
to reap some real rewards.
The harvest is here.
I'm seeking it and feeling it:
a long-awaited gathering full of grace.
A blessing that protects
and heals
and teaches
and enriches.
Enough of failure.
I'm ready to reap.
