The Orchard

The Orchard

In the orchards where my childish dreams would unfurl

I'd wander in awe, still a carefree girl

Beneath the boughs where apples hung like jewels

I found solace in nature's timeless rules

Beside the creek, I'd watch the water caress the pebbles as butterflies danced on air

I'd plant myself right there

Apples crisp and tart, a gift from nature's hand

A juicy red, more brilliant than any ruby in the land

In those moments, life was sweet and slow

Each apple a memory, with each bite, I'd grow

Simple joys, in simplicity I’d find

In apples alone, my smile would shine

Though years have passed and times have changed

In memories, my childhood dreams remain

A taste of innocence, a sip of days gone by

This simple gift, the apple of my eye
