In The Park

By Esther Giesbrecht

In the Park

People sit and

People walk

People laugh and 

People talk

In the Park

Trees watch and 

Trees bloom

Trees dance and

Trees perfume 

The air smells sweet 

And fresh

It’s just what the People need

As they lace their hearts together 

Like intertwining hands

They leave dimples in the ground

Where they walk and sit

The Flowers and the Bees admire 

The intimacy of friendship 

And the Trees support each crease

Of their neatly folded story

And each page brings them back:

In the Park

People meet and 

People love

Trees provide and 

Trees adore

And the Trees grow

And the Park thrives
