Flower Beds

“Flower Beds by Maisie Aletha Smikle

Flower beds in a row
Like tic toc toe
Spread the mulch
Pluck the weeds and mow

Water the flower beds
And flowers will bud
Colorful blooms
All season long

Welcome the sunshine
From heaven’s furnace
Anchored far up in the sky
Gentle rays beam from up above

A round ball of fire way up in the sky
Always suspended in the anchored sky
Shines its radiant beams from way up high
Warming the sprouting flower beds

Sunlight Moonlight Starlight
Warm gentle and bright
Make the flower beds bright
Glowing softly in the night

Thanks for the moon
Thanks for the stars
Thanks for the sun
Thanks for the soft radiant beams of light

That make the flower beds beautiful and bright
In colorful shades of red
Yellow orange black pink
Purple green and white

In the blooming flower bed
Sat a rabbit called Skip
Watching the horizon as the circle of fire slowly dip
Diving slowly into the ocean deep”
