POEM by Susan Wing

I come into the garden, and what do I see? The birds, the bees and really tall trees! I keep looking and find so much more – Flowers, weeds and insects galore. When you look around, what else can you see? The colors? The smells? The wind in the trees? The garden is such a very special place, Every day it puts a big smile on my face!

A Poem Written For Adults By Adult

"Scratches Across the Winter Sky"

by Lyric Garten

​

Every day throughout the day I watch the winter sky from my window. Trees are scratches extending across the sky, The white sky. Then one day I see it; A tiny bud of green appears perched scantily, impossibly Attached on a scratchy branch. And day by day the sky starts to turn blue again

"Nurture"

by Deanna Slone

​

Baby seeds and baby trees, Baby birds and baby bees. All need nurtured, all need fed. All need love then needs are met.
