THE   FLOWERS   WELCOME   THE   QUEEN 



Spring returns  to my garden and the  Golden Queen
Once  again  warms  everything she touches.
A little girl  comes barefoot  into my empty garden one day.
Her hair floating in the wind  gets caught  on my thorn hedge,  
But she pushes past the barrier,  and makes herself at home.
She passes  by  my roses  and her tiny fingers make daisy chains.
She leaves  my pathway and her unprotected feet mark my soil.
Somehow  my   garden    is   filled  with  her  presence
Now  moving in the  grass green  growth -
Meeting  morning’s  sunny face,  my little girl’s growing -
She’s planted there,  showing more roots  each day  -
Helen   -   in my garden of  wild flowers,  their  leaves  
Enfolding  her tender years.  My adored daughter,
My child,  running through the deep butter meadow,
Young knees yellow with topaz  dust, marks my soul.
She gazes  at  all the  smiling  saffron  rays-of-sun   petals.   
A  field  filled with dandelions’   bright   amber   glow; 
And bursting  with energy she chases a butterfly  and tumbles,
Giggling,  into a crowd  of elegant marguerites, splaying their 
Neatly-displayed petals in their starched ruffs : 
The heart of whiteness  shining  in  the   early   flower of   life.
She bends to count the spots on the  ladybirds climbing 
The stems of the coltsfoot.  The leafless coltsfoots, in greeting life, 
Offer  their  radiant lemon  fingers full-spread 
To  welcome back  the  Golden Queen  of heaven.
