Acrostic poem.

 

Image via Wikipedia

Today is a busy day for me,

Outside is where you will find me.

Digging around in my garden,

And watering my pretty plants.

Young at heart is how I feel.

 

I love the bright summer sun,

Shining down so warm on me,

 

As I’m tending to my flowers.

 

Busy working in my garden,

Until the sun starts going down.

Savoring the beauty of nature,

Yard work is what I love doing.

 

Digging holes in my flower bed,

And adding more colorful plants.

Yellow daisies are starting to bloom,

 

Favorites of mine they truly are.

Outside while the weather is warm,

Really do love my flower garden.

 

Many colors spread all around,

Everywhere they are blooming.

    This is a really beautiful poem. The atmosphere of a day out gardening has been very professionally captured. I loved the photograph aswell. I know from experience, that once you finish and go back indoors, your limbs feel tired all over and yet there is this internal satisfaction that you have done some beautiful and natural work with the plants. Well done!

    Darla wonderful poem, gardening is a relaxing thing after the hard work is done, but the reward of all that hard work is worth it and a kiss from God :D
