THE GARDEN OF MY CHILDHOOD

the garden of my childhood
weeping willow trees
little children playing
one of those children…me
lilac bushes gathering
a rose bush so red
long blonde curls
flowing from my head
a little redhead boy
on a swing slowly swaying
a statue of the Madonna
with hands folded praying
on the garden table
apples candy sweet
never wore any shoes
on my little feet
a rainbow once danced
with colors pink..blue..and green
I remember it well
the most beautiful I have ever seen
birds whistling their songs
children screaming happily
life was so beautiful
in all its simplicity
