She Brings In the Sun and Sky

Dainty tulips and lilacs come in May
Lily and daffodil out of their way
Verdant grasses spring forth in great delight
Dwarf dandelions everywhere in sight

Child laughter carries through my garden
Uplifting spirit of marigold fun
Whispering wisps float by on faerie wings
A dance in my earth heart helps my soul sing

Giggles announce my grandchild is here
She brings in the sun, and sky, loud and clear
God surrounds her face, and tweaks her small nose
Freckled pretty as orange lily and rose.

Soulful earth therapy all done today
Dainty tulips and lilacs come in May.

What a happy scene you've painted,Caren. The contest rules specify that the last line must be the same as the opening line though so you may like to re-think them if it's being entered. Best wishes Wendy
