My Little Garden



I have a little garden at the back of my house
With flowers and herbs and vegetables, and such

I sit in the garden, in the cool of the day
to admire its glory and sit in its shade

It’s not much of a garden, but it’s my little nook
To paint or to write or simply read a book

If I could choose a large estate with acres to spare,
I’d decline, because…

My little garden so simple and small
Is really quite lovely, and better than all

About this poem

This poem is about the special garden I’ve cultivated at the back of the house.
