I thought I would check my pond today to see if the frogspawn had hatched! Yes! I found a tiddler tadpole!

Don’t worry, they are safe in the pond and rewarded with some cucumber as an apology for their disturbance. 💚🐸

the stockings were hung by the...tv stand

 

 

 

 

 

I see an old lady,

and I think of you –

enjoying her garden,

as so should you

 

Tinsel and fairy lights,

I really miss you;

coloured stockings hang,

each a memory from you.

 

Then comes the summer,

and I mourn for you,

for all the lost days,

and the things we can’t do.

 

When I hear a joke,

I want to tell you,

to laugh like two schoolgirls,

‘til tears wet cheeks through.

 

Each birthday ticks by,

I wait for your card,

I know it won’t come,

but it still hits me hard.

 

When I see an old lady,

it seems so unfair,

‘cause you’ll never grow old,

no stick, no grey hair.

 

When I see an old lady,

with daughter at side,

I think to myself,

That should be I…

Daisies kissed by fairies,

pink lipstick petals pout,

little girl’s tiaras,

chains, lambs tails, about.

 

Buttercups stars shimmer,

spreading love and peace,

a golden, gay, glimmer,

graces chins beneath.

 

Forget me not – shy,

skirts the edge of the lawn,

coy, courting compassion,

for those whom we mourn.

 

The dandelions ire!

He’s banished from beds,

his anger like fireworks,

explode in his heads!
