Constance La France Poet Verse

A Page From My Childhood

Will turn back the pages of my life to a day,
where I am walking slowly with father;
                      and a dog barks,
                        and a bird sings.

We traverse a nearby woods exploring nature,
looking at rocks and find a bird feather; 
later, we walk up steep steps of a church,
with an interior beautiful still and quiet.
 
        Why do things change ?
        Why, do Dad's die ?

                       And then I walked,
                         and explored alone !
