Away out in the middle of no where at all
Horseback looking for strays cloudy day
Nothing that fantastic to see as one rides
Simply miles from anywhere far away

Suddenly a most beautiful flowering bloom
Growing away out there all upon its own
Fragrant superbly healthy and there it was
Looked so very beautiful but miles from home

One wonders how in all goodness it got here
Thinking of a seed upon natures winds blow
Yet defiantly it so far away from eye sight
Such brilliance away out there it did grow

Getting down from horseback a little water
Dug around it placed a few rocks protection
In a land of absolute droubt ever so very dry
It grew it smiled it stood without detection

Nature a way and far better gardener its so
Does things most of us would never guess
Never asking for thanks but how it performs
Does more than us to to tidy up earths mess

I gave it a little shade the smallest garden made
And hoped next time I ever came this way
It had decided to drop yet more of its seeds
Of its own to add to yet more a beautiful display
