As into my garden I softly creep,
To see what beauty awaits me there,
Softly looking for something to keep,
A lovely scent is filling the air.

Their fragrance wafting toward my nose,
Daffodils and lillies sweet,
The delicate petals of a rose,
Provides a soft carpet under my feet.

Their presence brightens a dreary world,
Reds, yellows, purples and blues.
Proud little petals with their colors unfurled,
In every shade and hue.

I gather some up from my garden sweet
Arranging them in a beautiful vase.
And lay them at my beloved’s feet,
Just to see the smile across his face.
