His Garden

I was walking home down the lane,
when it began to rain.
Not wanting to get drenched and get sick again,
I took a short cut through a backyard fast like a train.
Oh my what a prize,
I cannot believe my eyes.
Flowers so tall they were all king-sized,
they could all most reach the skies.
Colors so vivid and bright,
I needed my sunglasses for their light.
I came upon a bench with delight,
an old couple sat holding a kite.
Who are you they asked all dressed in white,
Oh I am taking a short cut to get out of the rain.
Come and sit we are dry,
we are under this big maple tree they did cry.
Your garden is very beautiful I said with a sigh,
it is not our garden it is the masters~He has a great eye.
Who is the master I asked the little guy,
it is God from above they whispered then said bye-bye.
