KATIE’S GARDEN

A chartreuse field containing white,

Daisies there had caught her sight,

Hair all golden – in pigtails too,

A summer dress all cheerful and blue,

Ribbons of sky holding her tresses at bay,

She cried with delight for this great day,

Clutching a few blooms she’d pulled out,

Enthralled by nature – gazing about,

Overwhelmed by beauty all hers for today,

Her flowery world made all okay,

Scents of grass, dandelion, and more,

Their aromas and color spread like a floor,

Mystical madness for a girl at play,

Her garden – Katie’s garden – hers for the day.
