A Shining Face

L.A. McLerran 1964 (El Paso, TX)

Around every city
there lies a sidewalk
'neath a neighbor strolling
from whom can bear
a shining face
which bonds a curtsied smile
with every flower
after the rain.

About this poem

written of a little girl who marvels at life at a young age while peering in the rain.
