Life is Sweet

The friends we pass along the way

remind us that we're A-okay...

And even when we wander through

those paths removed from others' view,

we find that peace is all around,

and there is goodness to be found.

We pluck from life the things that feed

our hungry spirits. Every need

is ours to seek and satisfy,

with help, of course, from friends on high.

The rich, ripe fruit makes living sweet

and gives our souls enough to eat.

Such fruit, once shared, is always sweet.

=)

    Now I want to go pick something, but all I've got is hard green citrus.

    So sweet! I was thinking of posting some pictures of my cherry tree experience this week and I think your words describe it perfectly.

    What a beautiful poem.
    The blueberry picking photo's are great and bring back memories of when I used to take my children. It is hard work, however, worth it!

    Picking fruit is good for the work ethic, good for the stomach, good for the soul. I love it (and have had my over abundance of it with the kids here lately as well! :) ) Beautiful pictures, words and music!

    Amen, Sue.

    I loved "We pluck from life the things that feed our hungry spirits. Every need

    with help, of course, from friends on high."
