Barefoot Girl
BAREFOOT GIRL
To my empty garden one day in the heat,
Hair full of daisies and floating on the breeze,
Came a carefree little girl in bare feet,
And her dog, completely at their ease.
They passed my orchids and roses so sweet,
Found a cool place to play beneath my trees.
They ran barefoot round the vacant seat
And rolled around on feet and knees.
I watched from my window as the happy pair
Danced and laughed, then in a blink
Jostled and turned, ran here and there.
When tired they sat down. I smiled to think
How my garden was complete and pleasant
With my shoeless daughter and her dog present.
