Long Time Ago
by Richard L. Provencher Long Time Ago From his Seniors' Home window an aged man smiles remembers being a kid of twelve, stepping over limbs beside the creek blue eyes still bright and inquiring, an eager boy under wrinkles of flesh speckled trout, sweet smells of summer calling-- twitch in his willow pole, clunker of a catch mouthing the dew worm ma noticing well-traveled jeans, "Need washin'," always said mud-caked from sunny days on old Ogden's Creek. Memories, never shy away. Richard L. Provencher Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
