Chase After the Mystery

A child asks the old groundskeeper
Watering graceful gardens
In amber desert sun,
“Do you like watering trees?
There are so many,
It must take forever.”
“There’s more to it than that,”
Says the strong man with a kind voice,
“Watering trees
Waters more than the trees,
It gives life to memories.
I think it’s very nice, and
I’m okay with that too.
… Run along now,” the man motions with a wave,
“Chase after the mystery,
Look farther ahead than behind, and
Watch out for rocks along the way.”
