Christina and Her World
What thoughts had filled her mind that day,
As she sat on the ground?
She stared at home in such a way,
As if a new place found.
Did memories invade her mind
Of many years ago,
Or something new that was the kind
That grabbed attention so?
If asked, could she find the words to let
Us know what captured her
Attention for the sight that met
With passion she prefers?
Perhaps Christina felt much peace
As sight and sound were mixed,
Thus causing nature to increase
The dreams with hope affixed.
