Gardens Early Awakening

In the spring all the Flowers come alive

Tulips rear their little head

From beneath the ground looking for light

To brighten up any flower bed

The grass needs cutting out comes the Mower

To shed its winter growth so long

Scampering field mice run away quickly

There’s always work to do from now on

Buds on the Roses looking for life

Getting ready to bloom in all colors

In the early morning Spring Sunlight

Just like all of the others

Also coming alive is the Gardeners pest

Dandelions and Thistles

They suddenly appear from the dead

With their colorful bristles

The Hedges need a good trimming

They have grown so bushy and high

If there not cut shortly

They will block out the light and the other plants will die

The Rhododendrons are blooming

Such a wonderful sight

Their Red and Blue flowers

Glisten brightly in the warm Sunlight

The Birds are singing their little hearts out

Such a wonderful sound

Other creatures are appearing

Even the Mole pokes his head above ground

It’s that time of year

There’s so much in the garden that needs attention

All the Ornament’s need painting

There’s just too much to mention

The Garden furniture is looking sad and rickety

I will be Sanding and Painting all day

But the garden soon looks bright and wonderful to

But that’s the joy of Gardening or so they say

As Spring progresses the aroma in the garden

Is a nice heavenly smell

That’s when you know

All in life is going well

A early walk around the Garden is  joy to behold

I will cherish forever or at least until I grow old.
