The Banker
On our lawn I stand
Admiring three Islands
Perennials returned
Your harsh words they've outgrown
How would your garden grow?
Again you scoffed at
Sheer joy I earn with carve and trim
Life to lawn once dying
wins.
I know that feel inside
As you rock with breeze
Rocking chairs have held you
Have heard, "We don't need those."
There you go again
Denying flowers before I die
Your pie waits in the sky?
Keep banking sans expiration date.
