Little Red Wagon
Outside my office window
a small red wagon
once filled with colorful lush rose moss
a few tall plants adding height to the display
and flowering vines tumbling over the edge
to puddle on the ground.
The little red wagon rests at the foot
of a flowering dogwood,
a picturesque little space I created some time ago.
Today, in August heat,
weeds with bright green leaves
fill the wagon,
tall and rather ragged.
Little saplings from the base
of the dogwood sway in the hot breeze.
Unable to tend myself to bring
it back to its original scene.
No money for a gardener’s hand.
I’ve learned to accept joy
where I find it.
God and nature are still
busy at work.
Green leaves. Growth. Still alive.
