let it be

she kept

it simple, the house

and

garden,

she let God have His

way

with

such things,

unconcerned

with flowers

or shrubbery,

let the tree

alone,

she used to say.

the way

it is,

is the way things

are supposed to be.

let people be who they

are,

don't change

a thing.

which was good news

for me.
