i stayed home....

i stayed home 
in the morning at least.
after my walk with my street walkers.
and after eating breakfast on my patio
 i wandered in and out of those weedy flower beds,
pulling out the offenders. 
watering the parched.
cutting off the dead.
and encouraging them all
in song.

they are partial to 
"you are so beautiful...
to me".

but i cannot possibly 
limit my concert to 
one song.
i sing whatever comes to mind.
and today in the soft cool morning
many songs came to mind.

they even got a bit of
"hey good lookin".

i briefly wondered what it must seem 
like on the other side of my fence
to anyone who passed by.
that crazy lady singing around the yard.
briefly, remember... i wondered.
because i really don't care.

"with a song in my heart"
i honored God who makes those
garden glories,
who also made me.
and mom.
she was a sporadic singer too.

betcha are surprised huh?
hahahhahahahaahaha
