The warmth of the sunshine rejuvenates my soul
Along with digging in the dirt
Till my fingers hurt!
Up and down
Off the ground
Pulling weeds
Planting seeds.
Digging in the dirt till my body screams!
Distracted by birds jumping limb to limb.
I try to flirt
But they’re super alert!
So I stay away
Leave them to play
And I revert to
Digging in my dirt
Now I won’t be distracted by indoor chores
Dishes and laundry
Can pile up some more.
In fact,
You’ll find me with
Muddy knees and
A sweaty shirt.
I’m in my happy place…
Digging in the dirt!
