Lovely sight I behold,
fall delight sheathed in gold.

Childhood swing, chosen tree.
Deep-wood path beckons me.

Rough wood fence . . . all of these,
stuff of sweet memories.

Your words make for lovely reading Janice. They ooze warmth like the picture itself. I almost want to explore through another verse of your poem what lies around the corner in the picture. Cheers - Gary
