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

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!

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.

some find subtlety alone

Suetang,

You have painted the perfect picture of a garden in full bloom here. Fabulous description.
