Renewal, a Poem

Posted by lenleatherwood on

Feeling at peace now

After a productive afternoon

Descending upon a long-neglected supply closet

Hauling, sorting, tossing

Wiping down shelves, walls, and the dust-bunnied floor

Hands-and-knees work

Wielding a spray bottle and rag

Making everything Simple Green fresh

Humming a happy tune

Knowing a job that needed doing

Has now been done

I am a native Texan who has lived for the past 30 years in Southern California. I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a two-time Pushcart nominee, a nationally award-winning writing coach, an editor, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In addition, I am the mother of three grown daughters of whom I am extremely proud, a grandmother of four darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 44 years.
