Sixty-five surrounds
herself with beauty -
In her home, her garden, and her duty.
Xerophytes might flourish without rain;
This woman likes more temperate terrain
Yielding fruits and friendships, grace and grain.
For her there is a unity of toil
In caring for community and soil,
Vineyards of the heart and of the hand,
Ecologies of love and of the land. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
