Garden Listing Makes Us Gardeners

There are roses in my garden.
I love their sweet perfume.
I pick their blooms and take them in
to brighten up my room.

There are spring bulbs in my garden.
Oh how I like to see
their first green spears
and then their flowers as a spring gift to me.

There are butterflies in my garden.
They've come to have a nip.
I help the petals to unfold
so they can have their sip.

The birds are in my garden
and filling it with song.
I know when they are building nests,
summer's here before too long.

Perennials and annuals
take up their garden place.
Each does his best to decorate
my precious garden space.

Dear Joyce, I've seen a photo of your yard and know how much you enjoy activities with your garden club. Indeed, your garden would have to be first rate! Wishing you success in the "list" contest, dear. Love you, Carolyn

Everyone needs to have a space of there own rather a garden or a simple corner with a vase of flowers in it to look upon, enjoyed your words of beauty today it's good to read anything about spring time again i thought at times it would never be coming, cheri
