Helpers In the Garden
My garden calls to earths creatures one and all
No matter how big, no matter how very small
Amid ferns green lace to show her humble face
With rows of flowers and dainty plots of grace
My gardens’ beauty grows so fair with ample daily care
From the water nymphs I see they have a secret flair
Flirting fairies carry flowers that are grey and spent
Then open all the blooms of delicate petals heaven sent
They sprinkle silver sparkles in the early morning dew
A gift for the flowers lined up in a colorful revue
Newborn dainty bluebells nodding in the gentle breeze
Then come the hummingbirds to drink with rapid ease
I see the tulip cups of early spring so sweet in cherry reds
Perfect buds of roses glowing just like married newlyweds
Summer iris dance together where the delphiniums grow
All along the fence just as pretty as gifts tied in a bow
My favorite place to sit in all this happiness and garden bliss
Is among the frilly petals of the yellow Rose of Sharon hibiscus
Little sprites eyes peak out from the different dancing daisies
Beside the arbor you can stop to find the double pink peonies
Hurrah for the coming of Spring showers to start our display
That then tumbles through the days of summers archway
My garden calls me back to welcome Autumns magic delights
To gather the last of the seasons’ bouquets and fiery sights
I say goodnight and see you soon to my gardens’ magic guests
In their loving care I send them off to rejuvenate and rest
Then tuck to sleep petals and bulbs, all in their separate beds
Before winters’ blanket of snowy white covers our sleepy heads
