Gods Gardens
Flowers as charming as April’s love
Peeking through God’s Earth and look above
Facing the sunshine through the dew
Tiny little droplets make them fresh and anew
Magnolias are flawless although from a shrub
Roses so fragrant and are hard to shrug
Lilacs of purple sweet scent in the Spring
Lily of the valley, tiny little bells pretty to ring
Lavenders scent so clean in a drawer
Baby’s breath will add to a floral border
Chinese lanterns are orange and pretty
Pansies of all colors line up so neatly
Bird-of- Paradise exotic and tropical
Gardenias so white and pristine in April
I can imagine the fairies dancing and playing
Among the wonderful flowers and staying
Under the petals asleep on a leaf
Can’t you imagine or even believe?
