Roses and pansies, so much color I see Such beauty all around me, what a lovely place to be I meander past the tree ferns New fronds begin to unfurl In my garden I descend into another world As I bask in the sun and enjoy its warm rays Summer is here with its lovely long days In amongst my birch trees I'm at one with my thoughts What a great place to go when I'm feeling out of sorts Jasmine and gardenias How exquisite their blooms With a perfume heaven sent All above me it looms So much beauty I see How hard it is to believe Was all of this really created by me? A place to go to be at peace So much enjoyment does this garden bring To think of loved ones A time to reflect And hear the angels sing As I stand there watering my garden with love Many cupids I see bringing joy from above Is that movement I see near the toadstool on the lawn? Could this be another fairy that has just been born? In my garden they roam It's like heaven on earth A place to escape And feel at one with Mother Earth Such solitude my garden gives me Every time that I spend there It takes me to another world So tranquil - without a care The wind chimes play a lovely tune As they're caressed by the wind What a lovely sound they make As they dance and they sing Time to leave my garden paradise Chores to be done - not so nice I leave with a smile But soon I'll return To my favourite of places The place that I yearn Suetang |

Dear Suetang: This paints such a beautiful picture with words. What a lovely place your garden must be. It makes me yearn even more for spring! Betty Lou Hebert |

what a lovely place to be  Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Suetang, You have painted the perfect picture of a garden in full bloom here. Fabulous description. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
