The Garden

This is one of a triad of little poems written by me a few years ago. Strangely enough, it is about the garden .. this time late winter. I hope you like it

I HAD FORGOTTEN

I really had forgotten, how beautiful it was
To wander round the garden, and I tell you this because
This evening I took a stroll, and marvelled at the views
Of Mother Nature's wonders, I just had to share the news

It was bitter cold this evening, so I wore a coat and hat
And a pair of gloves to warm my hands, I couldn't forget that
A gin and tonic in my hand, the gloves kept out the cold
Of the ice that tinkled gently in the glass I had to hold

Springtime still seems far away, the frosts still linger on
It will be a week or two or more, til winter's finally gone
But still the sun was shining bright, to give the heart some cheer
And made me feel that very soon, the Spring would soon be here

Buds are still to open though the daffodils have come
And crocuses are still in bloom, no heat yet from the sun
It won't be long, I tell myself, in the fading evening light
And that's exactly what I did, as I wandered round tonight

I loved my little dander, as I moved back to the house
My mind began to wander as I rejoined my spouse
Soon we would be back again, in the garden, where it seems
Mother Nature's wonders can fulfil our greatest dreams
