GARDENERS DELIGHT

GARDENERS DELIGHT

Each year I look forward to springtime,
as each bulb emerges out of the ground;
Bringing shoots of new greenery;
and I pause, as I look around.

The green of the leaves are a promise
that buds will soon appear on the stem;
The crocus, daffodils, and the iris
Will all start to bloom once again.

The warmth of the sun in my garden
dry the tiny droplets of rain;
I delight in the wonder and beauty
that surrounds my garden again.

This year I've added more iris
to compliment the yellows and blues,
The petals now blooming in splendor;
a gardener delights in the views.
