Blooms In the Garden- Vision

The dismal morning seemed to sigh
  As sonorous  thunder heralded the dawn
 Surreal was the sky
 That the rains had spawned
 
 All the gardens were abloom
    Except for one beset with weeds
 It was a garden full of gloom
    It's just tender loving care it needs

    Hummingbirds didn't visit the garden anymore
 In  other corridors they now flew
   But it was dazzling once before
     Where gorgeous roses grew

 Murmurous was the sound
 When the thunder did recede
 I decided to make this garden rebound
 And give it  the care it needed

   I tended to the garden and gave it beauty again
Beautiful was that garden when the summer came
    The lady who lived there thanked me
 But I found it quite arcane
    For she had died some years before
 And yet she knew my name
                 ----
