Garden Helper

I’m out to plant spring flowers with little feet in tow. His eager hands will churn the soil as gentle breezes blow. His tender feet will grace this place and leave sweet prints behind to create patterns of delight - his garden art to find. As temperamental winter bows to steadfast warmth of spring... most cherished of my flowers grown, my wild one on the swing! I'm going to the garden to chase a little boy, buzzing like a bumble bee... an afternoon of joy!

A delightful account of your garden outing with your sweet boy. I'm sure he loves trekking through the flowers as much as I did in childhood. Gardening is always something I shared with my mother, so this poem made me smile. Enjoyed very much! Love, Carolyn PS-a friend's new granddaughter Ayla has been in ICU. She could use some prayers now. Thanks, hon.
