summer garden--By Peggy Dugan French--United States

summer garden

years ago
we stood in your garden
smiling among the zinnias
picking peas for supper
under the big blue Minnesota sky

today
I stroll through my garden
pruning memorial roses
tenderly remembering those days
wishing I could turn back time
