how funny it is become
value of living, doesn't hinge, but is affected
by how well my plants may or may not do
I suppose that it's only superficial
for, should I crave nourishment...it is provided
in some fashion
I am now...that grubby fingers in the dirt
...knees on the ground
eyes to the sky kinda guy
I'm not sure if I've ever been happier...maybe
but I'm happy...now
and I feel really good
although...the end of my season is fast approaching
and the motto at work nowadays is:
'do more with less'
less time
less help
fewer supplies
but more work...
I've accepted the demands thrust upon me
and I'm striving and am surprisingly successful
...for now
I can be really strong
I'm pleased with that
with little leeway provided
we all choose how we will deal with adversity
I've chosen to fight
but not with unrealistic demands
I'm fighting to succeed
in spite of of the seemingly insurmountable hurdles set before me
I'm not positive that I can necessarily sustain
but, I'm also not afraid
in fact..it is with a bit of relish
that I face each new day
every challenge
I am actually surprised!
at how well I am doing
it makes me feel like a man
this means: not shirking duty
to face it straight-on
to do the best I can...no whether if anyone else realizes
my struggle....or not
that doesn't matter, for it's just me now
at my job, anyway
however, there is a source of great energy
great joy
ever awaiting me at home
my inspiration, my love, my life
...my family!
I am so lucky
