Sitting In My Garden

My chair it sits amongst the flowers
Allowing me some stolen hours

The birdsong echoes in the trees
The scent of flowers in the breeze

Only a rainbow can compare
With all the colours that they share

Whilst the music of the waterfall
Sends distant harmony over all

Creating a garden from the soil
So loving are the hands that toil

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/16/2019 1:45:00 AM Vera, this is a beautiful write. All the best to you and Peter. I am a gardener who is itching to get out there. I am on spring break this week, and love it that my 9 day vacation started last night, and the best news - it is supposed to be 50 and 60 degrees here this next week! Hallelujah! My cup runneth over with joy!
