i saw an hedgehog rising from his winter bed
ready for the spring that lies there ahead
roaming round the garden with his tiny feet
looking for a worm this was his favourite treat

in and out the plants underneath the sun
happy as can be having so much fun
with his little spikes standing in the air
all around his body sticking everywhere

he had a lovely face cute as cute can be
with his eyes of blue that brought a smile to me
mother natures child roaming wild and free
something i will treasure in my memory
