Lavender blue, memories of you Sue,
red roses too, next to lavender blue.
The honey suckle smells sweet as the bees
buzz in the heat.
But the grass is so dry, where no rain fell
from the sky.
Butterflies hop from flower to flower spreading
their nectar hour after hour.
The birds are chirping in the trees, as I sit
here writing this poem for thee.
Its so peaceful here in my garden,
watching mother nature, I often think there are
fairies here, no don't laugh I'm not on the wine
or the beer.
If only the creatures could talk, the beatles,
worms, spiders and ants, I think they would say,
"its good to be here crawling amongst the plants."

well earn't cherry!
yes,it is a beautiful poem I agree as Silver -Spun-sand says.
If only the Woodpecker could tap out a message his beak on the bark
and maybe you'll hear the skylark
The sun will shine on you
and if you can feel the Fairies
then they are there to
do write more of your friend sue.

Thanks julie
Sue was a gardener and loved nothing more than
being and working in her garden. She loved to grow
Vegetables and I do too.
I miss her and her advice so much.

Thanks for your comments julie,
No she was not young, she was 58 when she died.
But I think she was young at heart.
A very wise and beautiful person.
That is all I have to say now, otherwise Iam going to
end up crying.

Do write more.My dad was 56 long time
ago.Awful gale blown up.Fences coming down
No sorry it's new neighbours,strange wind had
a windbreaker is it,benn here some years that came
down.But to-day as we open door our hugh step looks
over new couple,So I wasn't looking,one was sun bathing they jumped cause,next I got them bunch flowers from our lucky garden this year,liked But putting up this light wood,can still see through cracks, most heavy wood around.We looked or he did,
all down.Sorry hear you have to.

A lovely poem Jenny, and so touching to link Sue with the garden and remember her when you go into it.

Hi Hourhouse,
Thankyou so much for your lovely comment, I love my
garden very much, and am also a lover of all creatures, as was Sue. I have to say that I do miss
her at times, she used to help me alot.
Still I have my memories.
