Roses petunias and pansies
So much color do I see
Such beauty all around me
What a lovely place to be

I meander past the tree ferns
As new fronds begin to unfurl
In my garden I escape
And venture into another world

As I bask in the sunshine
And enjoy its warming rays
Summer is finally here
With its lovely long days

In amongst my birch trees
I'm at one with my thoughts
Such a calming place to visit
When I'm feeling out of sorts

Jasmine and gardenias
So exquisite are their blooms
With a fragrance heaven sent
All above me it looms

A paradise alive with color
How very hard it is to believe
That nearly all of this beauty
Was lovingly created by me

A place for me to be at peace
So much joy does this garden bring
A place to reflect and think of loved ones
As many birds now take wing

Here I stand amongst my flowers
Watering my garden with love
As I imagine many cupids
Bringing joy from up 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

So much solitude my garden gives me
Every time that I spend there
As I'm transported to another world
So very tranquil without a care

It's time to leave my garden paradise
Chores to be done - not so nice
I leave with a smile
But very soon I'll return
To my favourite of places
This place that I yearn

My apologies for the length of this but I do have a very large garden! Thank you for travelling with me down my garden path.Take care......Sue
