I will turn back the pages of time
to mom and to when I was a little girl
mom would fill my pool and in I jumped
she called me pixie and I giggled
then, she turned to her garden
trimming black-eyed susan
and white shasta daisies
and I helped too
I had my own tools
and I worked hard
she gave me a small patch in the sunshine
with bright petunias and yellow marigolds
Mom planted coneflowers for the monarchs
I planted columbine for the hummingbirds
and yarrow for bees
oh, I loved the garden
then, mom said we need some rain
so we prayed and waited
and the beautiful rain showers came
gently falling on all the flowers and my columbine
petunias, yellow marigolds, and yarrow grew huge
and some crazy creeping thyme I had planted
this is a treasured memory
in the book of my life
