Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

June 11th 2020

Tomorrow is June 11th
My mother’s birthday
Her first one in heaven since her birth

The day I am determined to return to the land of the living
I will visit my favorite gardening store
Pick up some garden gloves, birdseed and plants

I will nurture myself with plant therapy
In honor of my mother
Who will be glad I am revived, and alive

I am looking forward to the risk.
I plan to make the most of it.
My first venture anywhere since March twelfth.

If it is the end of me
So be it.
I will join my mother and we will enjoy my beautiful yard.
