when I was a girl unaware of life and death father took me to the park to feed the ducks . . . how, sweetly they floated to me as father watched from a park bench the ducks knew us and came without hesitation how nice it would be to go back to those days to be again under those swaying trees where pretty ducks drifted just me and father and our favorite park bench . . . I went back to that park not long ago and the bench still remains and lingering there I watched ducks drifting remembering, remembering days of long ago and I imagined father stroking my hair as we sat on that park bench in the dappled sun _______________ July 27, 2022 Poetry/Free Verse/Childhood Memory Copyright Protected, ID 07-1476-536-27 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, A Brian Strand Premiere Choice sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 07/30/2022

Chidhood memories are so sweet ! Now many a time I drift back to those beautiful memories. When I think that those good old days and faces we loved so much will not come back, I feel an inexplicable pain. As one grows older, the wish to fly back to the times gone, becomes even more intense. Enjoyed reading your poem and also the beautiful picture, dear Constance!
