what a charming scene to happen upon

a tiny bench for a child

to sit and rest

or watch the world go by

or dream

a small bowl of water

for a dog to have a drink

the happy chalk drawings

to bring smiles

for those walking by

the flags

to celebrate our country

to remember what it stands for

 plants

to enjoy the beauty of

nurturing and growing

such a kind and generous thing to do.
