My Garden Is My Sanctuary

Published by Family Friend Poems April 2011 with permission of the Author.

As I look out to my garden
I feel a sense of pride.
It really is a lovely room
except it is outside.

Where lovely things mix and match
and greenery fills the walls
the sound of trickling water
coming from the gold fish pond.

I love the sight of stones and rocks
and driftwood and tree ferns too
the sounds of all my chimes
i know you would like it too.

With pride I walk around my garden
and savour each scent and smell,
colours of yellow, red and gold
striped cushion on a bench.

The bird bath has its own domain.
It's placed beside a wooden arch
where all the birds come to bathe
and drink when they are parched.

Ladybirds can hide away
sometimes they come out to see
what's happening around them
with caterpillars and the bees.

There's not much more that I can say
except if you have your own
it won't take long to build it up
seeds will bloom once they are sown.
