Analysis of Paths Within A Meadow.

Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)



Within the meadow growing free,
A garden awaits patiently,
I view the change from deep within,
While standing here with a grin,

A lady dressed oh so well,
Strolls silently with a frill,
Butterflies, and birds so high,
Within the heavens by, and by,

Thoughts of happiness fill the air,
The memories of how you truly cared,
Earth tone pathways all around,
Fragrance lovely still abounds.
