Tulip UPdate

Encourage them to get their hands dirty
let them find worms, snails, and grubs
let them delight in the dance of ladybugs
let them know the scents of the earth
let them feel healthy soil between their toes
let them watch things grow

They may not remember
every seed pushed into the dirt
or every carrot or flower plucked
but the miracle of life will remain in their heart
quietly tucked

One day you might sit in their garden
digging for the words
that need more time
to fully describe
the breathtaking beauty of the flowers
blooming around them

Thank you for stopping by my tiny plot of paradise, albeit virtual in this moment. Thanks too, to those of you who visited my site last fall and expressed interest in a tulip update. They’ve bloomed! The flowers and my daughter who has taken on some difficult challenges recently. She is rising to the occasion, in her own artistic way. She inspires me. May your garden bloom in a way that best suits you. Kind regards. Michele

If you’re new to my blog, welcome! Here are the two tulip posts from last fall, that I am referencing: Special Delivery (w/audio poem) and Growing sweetly, for you
