Nellie's Garden


If I could plant a flower dear,
for every thought that draws you near,
inside my garden you would find
endearments fertile in my mind.

I'd gather up the summer phlox
and whisper soft forget-me-nots,
all sweetheart roses sown true blue
along my garden path for two.

Tulips would smile each sunny day
and gently lift our cares away
to offer sprigs of sweetest thyme
when penned in notes of floral rhyme.

The coralbells would cast their spell
upon our thoughts and pray, "be well."
I'd clip away each bleeding-heart
and toss it in my garden cart.
