My favorite poem of Betty's - Ginny Johnson
Contemplation
The trailing Morning Glory
finding its way through the decaying fence.
The Rhubarb thrusting strong sheaves
of ruby stalks and rippling leaves.
The sound of distant waves along the shore
as pigeons defy passing traffic patterns.
Now I know, when searching within
to question the glory of the day.
To walk in the home of the butterflies
as they cling to their scaly branches
To relive the walks on the sacred paths,
the joy of days of discovery.
To know and strive for a balance of giving -
this is the dance of eternal living.
