Peering over her
back fence...
a
secret world came
into view,
I opened wide a
picket gate
And tentatively
stepped through.
My feet took me
far away...
over old mossy
cobblestones,
I glanced this way
and that
Excited to be so
all alone.
So I twirled and I
danced...
birds
singing fancy
free,
Squirrels bounced
up to chirp hello
Fruit dangled ripe
from every tree.
I spied the
tinniest
frog...
hopping
with joy among the
leaves,
I followed his
every wriggle
To his pond within
the reeds.
Two white swans
came drifting
by...
serene and
pearly white,
I reached to
stroke their
pearly necks
Oh, they flapped
their wings in
flight.
Honeysuckle
curled around the
arch...
with cute
caterpillars to
see,
Dewdrops sparkled
on the lilies
All of this put
here for me.
The sun shone
warm, on rosebud
velvet...
unfurling
delicate hue,
Fluffy clouds
formed friendly
shapes
I lay
smiling, in soft
azure blue.
I munched on
golden
gooseberries...
and
sucked the morning
glory,
Then hid in the
cubby under the
hedge
Where I told
ladybird her
story.
Soft bunnies
scrambled on my
lap...
butterfly
kisses tickled my
cheeks,
The fountain
gushed with
raspberry bubbles
In my paradise of
delightful treats.
My softest friends
and Jesus...
were
all that wanted
me,
But then pop, my
eyes awoke
Another day was
here to see.
I wished my dream
could go on for
always...
such was
its pure delight,
But now I visit my
heavenly garden
every time
I shut my eyes at
night.
