Abundance From Judy's Garden

~ ThanksLiving ~

You left me here, Dear Heart

alone and on my own - my world

all upside-down without you

the life we knew is gone

has died with you

Now as I surface from the depths

and grow a new familiar - I wait

for a fresh bud upon the vine

we nurtured for so long

I’m watching, waiting as it blossoms

slowly, yet with great surprise

I am captured by its promise

life anew in your demise

Nourished by the love we shared

strengthened by our years, I’m

grateful for the gifts I count

as this Thanksgiving nears

Thankful for gifts never sought or needed before death turned life upside-down, yet now, emerging, are life giving - full of hope to turn despair around.
