The old lady looks out over her garden
It’s a cool spring morning so she dresses warm
Sitting in the conservatory sipping lemon tea
On the small table a plate of warm toast
In the garden yellow daffodils compete
With the scarlet tulips
The flower bed blanketed with blue dwarf hyacinths
Purple crocuses push through the green grass
She smiles peacefully
Do not cry for me or be sad
She had told her friends
Be happy because soon for me
The great adventure will begin
Smiling she falls asleep in her chair
A piece of warm toast in her hand
Falling
To grow cold on the floor
As the great adventure begins
THE GREAT ADVENTURE.
