Approximately 40 years ago
I tore from a magazine
this picture of a child and
her gift from the garden.
(I believe the picture was part of a detergent ad.)
So powerful was the poetic visioning
in my heart's mind
as I pondered the child,
her gift,
and the subject of her adoration,
I framed and kept the picture with my special possessions.
This is a new photograph of the old,
now faded original, reframed and enhanced.
