The Garden We Created

As I gaze out of my window Bright flowers they touch my heart For years I've looked each morning So awed by nature's art This was our very first home There were no shrubs, nor flowers Yet now we have something to gaze at We filled it up with nature's power Our window stands out like a snapshot Within it a beautiful scene Flowers of many wondrous colours Show out midst leaves, soft green Oh yes, it is so beautiful This garden we've designed A garden half as beautiful It would be hard to find

Robert Hi. Peter created the garden and I weed it but we do love it and yes it is a blessing, some of the gardens around us are terrible, some people do not have souls and to have a garden you have to have a soul so thank you my friend for taking the time to read and enjoy, take care........Vera............

If I were King of the world, every child would learn how to garden, not to become a gardener, but rather learn about life. I sure you garden is as beautiful as your poems are......God Bless...My Best to Peter
