Whose wandering our garden
Studying the flowers?
She's been out there looking
for what seems like hours!
When she touches on a petal
the plant does seem to rise
preen and lean towards her
almost doubling in size!
As if her touch is magic
her presence bringing warmth
the flowers appear to watch her
as she takes her jaunt
Her dress appears old fashioned
from loving years gone by
There's something strange about her
that can not be seen by eye
I wonder where she came from
and who she really is
Perhap's I'd best go ask her
and question her and quiz
But Hold! Where ever is she!
I've looked both left and right
but now I cannot see her
she's vanished from my sight!
Wait! I can remember
well almost before it fades
Her whispers to the flowers
her words of love and praise
"Sweet flowers, joy resplendent
colour, scent so rich
I think that I will stay awhile
and here I'll place my pitch.
"But first I must go tidy
myself and change my clothes
Then gather up my bag
and start along this road"
"Soon I shall reside here
I'll stop and play awhile
I'll make friends with the children
and hope to make them smile"
"Now I really must be going
so that I can return
I've many things to do
and many things to learn"
She vanished from my sight
I wonder when she'll return
Could it be tonight!
