She sits by a pond in all weathers <br />Looking down shyly at the water <br />Her long hair tumbling over one shoulder <br />Watching the fish as they glide to and fro <br />The sun catching the gold and making it glitter <br />This lovely lady is only a garden statue <br />But whom, I wonder, when I look at her <br />Was the beautiful girl who posed for the sculptor.<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/girl-by-a-pond/
