as he races down the garden
the existence of squirrels

Things to be Grateful for
The comradery of buddies is a thing I'm thankful for;
the wagging tails of dogs when I open the front door;
a final cup of tea before I climb the wooden hill
a glass of sparkling water with which to take my morning pill.
An early morning walk on which the rain declines to fall
a session of jiu-jitsu (still my greatest love of all).
Fixing Google photos so my phone begins to sync
the splendid gift of watercolours, oil paint and ink.
The sourness of an apple and the sweetness of a grape
scarlet streams of creeper in an autumn gardenscape.
A long walk in the sunshine after several days of rain
the current lack of panic as the world dissolves again.
Recovery from covid as the recent strain recedes
means I can venture forth recounting tales of gallant deeds.
