It is from "Home" in Maud Martha by Gwendolyn Brooks. Copyright © 1993 by Gwendolyn Brooks. Published by Third World Press, Chicago.

The full text is:

What had been wanted was this always, this always to last, the talking softly on this porch, with the snake plant in thejardinière in the southwest corner, and the obstinate slip from Aunt Eppie's magnificent Michigan fern at the left side of the friendly door. Mama, Maud Martha, and Helen rocked slowly in their rocking chairs, and looked at the late afternoon light on the lawn and at the emphatic iron of the fence and at thepoplar tree. These things might soon be theirs no longer.Those shafts and pools of light, the tree, the graceful iron, might soon be viewed passively by different eyes.
