In the Garden’s Glee
In the garden, flowers bloom,
"Wow!" we cheer in every room.
Petals bright, with sun's kiss,
Dancing in the breeze, pure bliss!
"Yay!" for reds, and blues, and yellows,
Soft and gentle, like marshmallow.
"Look!" a butterfly so nifty,
Flitting through, oh so swift-y!
"Ha!" the laughter, full and free,
Amongst the blooms, we dance with glee.
Flowers tall, and some are small,
In our garden, we love them all!

Flowers blooming, side by side.

Roses red, violets blue,
Sunflowers that reach the sky too.

In the garden, memories we keep.
Buttercups in hands, "Look, they glow!"
Faces shine in sunlight's show.

In this garden, every hour.
