California Impressions
Pal Camera and I walked a bit in sunny California
among the swaying palms and sprinklers’ irrigation
of green lawns and people on vacation.
A baby ran in utter joy enjoying freedom
amid the green of a grassy stretch so wide
it must have felt like Eden.
He turned in glee and waved back at his family,
Look! Look! Look what I found – a great big birdie!
I felt myself grinning for
this baby’s joy in life was just beginning.
