vi·tal·i·ty
the state of being strong and active
Every morning on my walks here in our South Texas park, I pass this poinsettia plant.
Because it’s so full and lush and perfect, I wondered if it’s real.
A few days ago I checked and sure enough, it’s as real as you and I.
To see the bracts still as red at the end of February as they were at Christmas time made me think of the word vitality.
