Life is Just a Bowl of Cherry Tomatoes

A backyard planter bursting with

Tomatoes on the vine

Provided treats for several mouths

And one of them was mine.

 

My son’s the one who grew ‘em.

His daughter and her aunt

Plucked only those deemed red enough;

The rest stayed on the plant.

 

While picking was in progress,

My son trimmed leaves that died,

Which my grandgirl helped me gather up

To toss off to the side.

 

Though not all family members

Helped to make the chore complete,

We all reaped the rewards

Of those tomatoes, ripe and sweet.
