The Strawberry
by Jeff Barnett

You are so red,
so shapely,
and so delicious,

Sitting at the heart of my garden,
the sun beating down on you,
bringing your sweetness to perfection.

Will an eager deer come and snap you up?
Or a hungry rabbit stretched to carry you away?

God’s bounty has placed you here
in Pam’s garden–
a gift for my morning cereal.

Or is it a God wink …
a little gift from Pam to me?
