The silvery moon casts a shadow on the lawn
As the day now closes
And the fairies begin to yawn
So busy they have been
In my garden all day
On a blanket of baby tears fern
Is where they now lay

Such a paradise for them
And certainly for me
Whether I'm just admiring my garden
Or relaxing under my birch tree

The birds have come to roost for the night
In my flowering gum
As they ruffle up their feathers
And wait for the sun

But now night has come
No more work to be done
Time to rest for a while
As I begin to smile
About the day spent in my garden
How happy these thoughts make me feel
So tonight I'll dream of my garden
And know my dreams will be for real

Beautiful, how often we forget the beauty that comes forth from a garden, a gift of paradise here on earth.

Alas my life is sans Gum and Waddle, so I must look through your poetic eyes to enter the garden. And well did you let me walk with you.

I am so glad that through my poetry, so many people have been able to enjoy my beautiful garden which brings me so much joy.  This is one of many poems I have written about my garden which is always a source of inspiration and change for me.  Thanks so much for your kindness......Sue
