It was like the dead of summer throughout the weekends, 

and on my way to work, there was an itty-bitty garden 

that have me recalling my childhood days, 

a time when I would get drenched in my own sweat playing at the park, 

while both the trees and the grasses would give off such a comforting and tended scent under the heat of the sun… 

what a scene of the distant past
