When a tree waves its green leafy hand, Most don't notice, but I understand; The swaying of a flower, the buzz of a bee . . . That's how my garden beckons to me
The little blades of grass gently nod As a worm pokes his head through the sod; Cast blame if you will on my vanity, But I'm certain he's looking for me
Now the wind wants to join in the game -- Spying a windchime, it takes careful aim; Soon the air fills with a soft melody, And I smile, knowing it's playing for me
I watch as the sun sweeps clouds away, Showing off with such gaudy display; But I must admit, the sun's victory Causes the flowers to dance with glee
And I stand in awe amidst this scene Of peace and beauty. If I were a Queen What nobler entitlement could there be Than these treasures unfurled before me?
A warble suddenly hushes life's din, And soon more feathered minstrels join in; But such incidents are no mystery . . . That's just my garden calling to me
