Analysis of ~ Under The Sun ~
This fresh, crisp, summers morn
I walk out to my garden to watch it grow
The wooden path is withred and worn
All the tulips standing tall and planted in a row
The scents from my yard has a pleasing aroma
A soft breeze takes it across the land
Sweet, sweet, begonias
They are delicate and picked by hand
Hues of lavender and blues mixed with pink petals
So tender, and soft, with thin stems of deep green
I place them in a large copper kettle
The light of the sun bounces off with a sheen
The birdhouse is full this year, I can hear the babies cry
These finches come only once a year
I can see the mother, in and out she goes, with such pride
Once in a while inside I peer
In the shades of my garden under the pine trees
Their are benches to watch the deer
They roam through the fields for wild flowers to feed
I notice the buck seems to lead without any fear
My views are magnificent from my yard
The beauty of my garden surrounds me
One things for sure I don't have to look far
The pleasure's all mine, all from a handful of seeds
