Notes About The Poem

Adjusting  my life constantly and always with love.

Another Springtime Chore

Another Springtime Chore
By Franklin Price
03/08/2022

I wrote of springtime yesterday 
Of the flowers, birds and bees
And of the leaves and blossoms
On the bushes and the trees

Of the gardening and raking
That is needed out of doors
Not the things, I may be buying
At the Lowes and Walmart stores

This morning when I woke up
And my bare feet hit the wood
The dust I felt beneath them
Was anything but good

It was the house, reminding me,
Of the Springtime cleaning fun
For the vacuuming and mopping
I have been the chosen one

Barbara  always did the dusting 
That was always what she did
I may have to search the internet
For the lowest dusting bid

For she's no longer with me
To help me with the Springtime dust
I know she's grinning from above
I'll try to do it if I must

I guess we'll see just how it goes.
It may be Fall before I'm done.
 I can also hear her laughter,
Although I'm having all the fun

Franklin, my Deb always insisted on having a housekeeper, so, after she was gone, I continued the practice. She comes in every two weeks and does a thorough cleaning and dusting. It is so nice! I highly recommend it.

I know the feeling only to well having lost my wife. Enjoy your day brother Franklin.
