The Best Of What Nature Could Bring


Garden Poem of the Day

An Evening Hour
By Pearlyn

It was a sunny bright evening,
An evening so clam,
The kind of evening that was inviting me
With an outstretched arm

So I decided to spend an hour
Doing almost nothing,
Sitting and enjoying
The best of what nature could bring

Getting up from my chair,
I thought I'd take a stride
Then there was a bumble bee
That suddenly came by my side

There was a kind of music
As the bee flapped its wings,
Music so perfect
That no one could ever sing

Walking little further,
I spotted a butterfly
Which was hovering over the flowers
And then soaring high

And I came to the conclusion
As I was on my knees,
Not the richest of queens
Was dressed like one of these

My evening hour in the garden
Was very well spent
And now I know what beauty and music
Really meant!
