A Gardeners PrideDecending out onto the verandah Last night I guess it rained~ I sit into that old cain chair Gazing onto a garden so well maintained~ Well rolled and cut lawns they spread away Down each side of patched garden path~ Centred by that old sun dial Surrounded by a sandstone harth~ Bearded Iris my favourite flower Large roses still holding dew~ The hollyhocks and rows of phlox And in the foreground pom poms colored blue~ Violets growing of a day in shade Foxgloves tall and beautiful there~ Simply endless beauty all around me Planted with a keen gardeners care~ I sit and gaze upon perfection At a garden well maintained~ Freshness how it fills the air And .. Yes last night it rained~ African violets here beside me Protected some from there outside~ As I sit and gaze at all this beauty I feel the feeling of a gardeners pride~ Terrence Michael Sutton Copyright 2007 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
