School Trip to a Garden
A belt of blooms amongst the grass
Elegantly sparkling asters
Bright as a summer morning
Bob in the breeze
Bending low the beguiled sky
Breathes deeply the warm scents
Playfully nudging the flowers
into a joyous nodding
Paper white cotton candy clouds
Crease and crinkle all day
Laughing at the golden sun
All serious and silent
Cobalt blue sky
Loudly yawns and stretches
Wholesome smiles of delight
light up every being
Blithe little hearts
Jump and run
Round and round
Fulfilled to the brim
Elegantly sparkling asters
Bright as a summer morning
Bob in the breeze
Bending low the beguiled sky
Breathes deeply the warm scents
Playfully nudging the flowers
into a joyous nodding
Paper white cotton candy clouds
Crease and crinkle all day
Laughing at the golden sun
All serious and silent
Cobalt blue sky
Loudly yawns and stretches
Wholesome smiles of delight
light up every being
Blithe little hearts
Jump and run
Round and round
Fulfilled to the brim
