My Garden

Love, with hope and vitality
  Joined together in one space.
  Here in my garden I can see
  Transformation taking place.

  Radishes, crisp and crunchy
  Robust and brightest red.
  Picked by hand not long ago
  From their earthy garden bed.

  Sprinkled with a trace of salt
  Slices sharply thin and straight.
  Moisture clinging to their edge
  Then placed upon a china plate.

  Tomatoes, scarlet beauties
  An aroma strong and heady.
  My gift from soil and sun
  Now so very ripe and ready.  

  I am grateful for the bounty
  A reward for what I've done.
  I admit most candidly
  Gardening is my form of fun.
