Food for thought - Lin Family Garden

From every angle a new delight

A taste of Ancient China

So serene walking through

Winding paths each leading you

To another view of this amazing home

Like a village from a bygone era

We think for awhile Jenny and I

Of how it must have been

For the many children

Who called this garden their very own playground

For hide and seek and other games

We imagine them preforming

On the stage at the end of the pond

Family and guest seated on the other side

Like them so many years ago

We can feel the love and applause

Still echo in the Lin Family Garden

Their memories our memories

As we both bow and walk away
