Carefree in a tended garden a small child plays
Running between rows of hyacinths chasing butterflies and bees
A mother watches on from a shady spot under a swaying tree
As little one squeals and laughs at her wild imagination

And opens them to little one palms full of scrunched up flowers
She glances at the poor little garden bed squished and flattened with a sorry smile
Prompt: Palmful
