Summer Berries

When you see them,

pick them.

Don’t pass by,

thinking

You’ll be back again.

There is no back again,

when

You see them.

This poignant poetry by a former neighbor, Nick Givotovsky, reminds us to be always in the present. The wisdom of his words is weighted by knowing that Nick was killed in a tragic tractor accident when he was still a young man.
