The Apple Path

by Sally Law

~~~~~

I took a walk and hurried on down

a path offering apples kissed by the sun.

I wouldn’t be delayed or turned aside,

as if to have some childlike fun.

A girl on a strategic mission, I was;

apples were calling a taunting reply.

Red and delicious, they hung very low.

“How can I resist?” I said with a sigh.

My first bite was lovely, juice—divine;

but now, I must answer the dare.

I bought a peck and lugged them home;

a pie was their fate, I declared.

My family gave thanks to God above,

when the smell of the fruit filled the air.

The pie was so good, I baked one more,

the prize-winner named at the fair.

A peck of apples is approximately 12 pounds.
