The Garden
Feel the dew upon your hands
Picking veggies as fast as you can
Perfection each one in every row
The morning light is shining bright
Birds singing with morning delight
You know
You look silly and you laugh
Upon your head an old farmers hat
Made of straw, you can't beat that
Sleeves of your shirt up to your elbows
Pants rolled to mid calf
Damp soil caressing your toes
Butterflies floating all around
Gathering nectar from blooms abound
Vines delicately draping upon the ground
Bees racing around and around
The coolness of the morning
Peaceful way to start
Being one with nature
Brings joy to your heart
Tranquillity and contentment
Finally to behold
Simple things of life
Found in a vegetable garden
You know
The butterflies, the bees
The blooms, the trees
Birds singing
Relished Smiles
Working side by side
With the one you love
Forever not just for a while.
