Our garden fighting off the end of summer.
As the leaves drop onto the ground one by one
It’s natures way of telling us summer’s done
The sun is low and takes a while to shine
Yet the plants in the garden’s shadows are all fine
Slowly the leaves take on their autumn shades
No more long nights as here the sun now fades
My garden remains all year in it’s different forms
Through sunny mornings, rainy days and even snow storms
The rabbits have gone and now the clover has a chance
The birds are alone and doing their little dance
Roxy the bull dog’s favourite lying places throughout the year
Moving with the sun in her garden spaces brings a joyful tear
It’s so tranquil, safe and special and all of those things
As we sit watching the nature that our garden brings
While outside in the world I believe there’s too much bad
To have our wee garden to watch nature makes me glad
There is no place on earth where we ever should be sad
