Whose Garden?

by Maureen Glaude

back 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

Yes indeed - this poem started a whole train of memories of my own too. Lovely moment

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.
