When I was young


When I was young 

 

I entered my Uncle’s garden

 

An entry into Eden

 

Oranges were abundant on trees

 

 

Sculptures beautifully positioned 

 

Touched by caring and love 

 

My heart bonded to this space 

 

Spent my life seeking this place

 

 

A photo in my home a reminder

 

That I touched heaven so long ago 

 

My Uncle and Aunt gone now 

 

But the bliss resides within me

 

 

I am blessed 

 

Discovering my blossoming peace

 

My senses heightened 

 

My heart awash with tears of joy
