The Mulberry Tree

I stood beneath the mulberry tree,
The one on Park Street,
On the other side of the train tracks
Around the corner from Whitehern mansion.

I admired the fruit on the branches,
As I did when I was a child.
We had one of these in our backyard,
I ate the berries back then.

But not this time,
I moved on.
Perhaps the school children enjoy its fruit, the way I once did.

I'm a Mexican born Canadian. The 9th of 13 children, a sister, wife, and mother. I love nature, reading, writing, and photography. I am not ashamed to say that I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. That He died on the cross for the sins of the world, and rose from the dead 3 days later just as He said He would.

What did you think? I'd love to hear from you!
