Whose Garden? by Maureen Glaudeback home
with us a year now
after two years away,
our daughter proudly plants
her own first garden
her father, the welcome lawnchair quarterback
marketing, planning assistant and
co-financier
from the kitchen window
I watch and listen
as they discuss ideas
and I smile as I remember
the one they always planted
closer to the house
when she was growing up

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/25/04 at 07:40 PM This is really sweet, relevant to all who read it in that it gives a good example of how a parent and offspring have something to reinforce emotional and historical bonds that like the garden can and will continue perenially. |
