”This Backyard Fence”
Something Special…..
That Old Backyard Fence
How long has it been there ,
……nobody knows for sure.
It matters not the age ,
Rather……..
the story that it might tell.
The timbers have come from a good stock,
I am sure…..
It stands so well, throughout the years.
There was no printed design for it,
only using ‘what fits’.
Did it stand strong with a purpose? ……
Only the builder would know.
From it’s mass, a grapevine grows,
and the camaraderie friends,
with the exchanges of morning greetings
and exchange of produce
from their gardens.
Passing through it’s gate may not
be going somewhere,
but rather,
What we may have left behind.
This speaks of our Lives.
It is not for us to question intent or appearance of those things which in life we have come to appreciate…… but only a fondness and respect for them.
Hmmm, that could be a Grandfather ….
