A Child's Garden Of Verses ...R L Stevenson
and it was
a veritable
garden
dreaming
and entering
the world
of beautiful
images and words
a secret retreat
building an armory
for the future
to prepare
and survive the
slings and arrows
the rite of passage
destiny of us all
words and images
that still sustain me
the sunshine
in my life
This is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteChildren's books are wonderful..they show what life could be like..the magic in the everyday...it is good therapy to pick one up no matter your age just to remind yourself..
ReplyDeletelove the progression of the poem...
ReplyDeleteIsnt it true that in memories of childhood, it is almost always sunny? How that summer sun stretched out through the long hot summers......sigh.
ReplyDeleteYes those simple books are often so wise.
ReplyDeleteNice bouquet today, Rall! x
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. How wonderful to have such a good memory of a children's book. I like your poem, it mimics the simplicity of a child's poem beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThe very book my mother read to me when I was a small child. And yes, I carried in the tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too:)
