Palisades Park New Jersey Poem by Shirley Morgan

Oh how I wish that I was a child again.
As a child I remember walking in Palisades Park. New Jersey
Oh life was so simple then.
Playing in the park and letting
my imagination get locked into the trees.
And when I got tired I would rest on the
bench and feed the birds.
It seemed like I was in a bubble free
from worry. The bubble, protected me.
Now that I'm grown the bubble
has gotten bigger.
Oh how I wish I could rest one more time
on that bench in Palisades Park, New Jersey
A Jersey girl
