precious harvest

Strawberry, a photo by annfrau on Flickr

To the market place she went,

with baskets of strawberries in tow.

Although, she couldn't shake

the uncomfortable feeling 

she had in selling her precious harvest.

"Just one more " , she said. 

Twenty minutes later, all were gone.

So sad was she to see them go,

but so happy to be at the market for more.
