Mama's Garden

My mama grew up a little bit of everywhere. First in a small town, then off at a little college just a stone's throw down the road, then business school, then the biggest city she could find. When she got there, she met my Papa and together they spent years chasing dreams from a high-rise apartment. Though her childhood cornfields were replaced with skyscrapers, and the harvest moonrises turned to dark pavement and slow-burning streetlights, she and Papa made their home.
