Rainbow Garden
I Was off work not feeling too well
When covid 19 came along there was no time to dwell
I came back to work and sat in the huddle feeling nervous but I knew no hugs or a cuddle
Liesl asked if we could sort out the garden
I wasn’t sure if this task was gunna be a hard one
We all set out to do our bit
Never did I doubt that we all could do it
We weeded we cleaned we hung things and we potted
A rainbow garden I thought no way
But we all kept at it doing work and no play
We was asked to make a rainbow out of a plastic bottle
I giggled and chuckled but I still followed
I had bottles all over still cutting and spraying
Please no more i was quietly saying
Our group was posting lots of handmade flowers
I was impressed our main outpatients team really had powers
I got hubby to make a stencil then up the flowers went
Wow I was seeing a rainbow just what liesl meant
Everyone joined in with sprays varnish sharpies and paint
This was fun we were all so proud to show off our super talent
I watched all the smiles on my colleagues faces
I love this garden as we all got our praises
This lockdown brought out the best in us all
The closeness the effort we were not gunna fall
I was asked to make a small pot of gold
I wasn’t sure how to make it but I soon took a hold
Every bodies faces I loved to see
Our beautiful garden is the place to be
They made one, a flower I knew they were proud
We were all so happy that we were allowed
We got it all ready for nurses day
In time for all to join us in a special way
The rainbow is finished looks so beautiful and bright
Everybody that sees it are full of delight
The sun has started shining all the clouds have gone away
We have our magical garden to make us smile each day
Thursday at 8 I’m thinking of all
I’m so proud of everyone for that round of applause
I wish this corona virus quickly disappears
So we can all get back to reality and stop our tears and fears
A massive thankyou to everyone I cant thank you all enough
For all of your enthusiasm time trust and love
In the meantime we all need to stay strong in our own special team
Working together in main outpatients is my favourite dream
