Digging In My Garden

his heart beats strong now
within his small chest
a babe newly born could
hardly find a breath

his clear blue eyes show
a window to his soul
blond hair & dimpled chin
he’s such a dapper fellow

came to dig in my garden
right along his dad’s side
a shovel bigger than he is
accomplishment & pride

even though the work was hard
never was there a complaint
he only asked his mom this
‘how much do kids make?’

My seven year old grandson can work hard just like his dad in my garden but he’s smart, this one, as he knows there is a bit of money to be had? Just loved it when he asked. Here’s to you, Wyatt!

Smart Fellow

he knows where he lives
but that doesn’t stop
this smart fellow from
visiting everyone
i tell him to go home
and off he goes
