Just Flowers

by Margaret McCulloch © 1993
My garden is a crazy quilt 
With neither rhyme nor reason
I only know it holds a flower
To bloom in every season 
       
Red Primrose vies with pastel pinks
Bluebells with purple Aster
I gather them in pottery jugs
And hide the Alabaster
       
I never show my garden
To people stiff or proud
It grows for those with zest and joy
Who like to laugh aloud 
       
Whose hands reach wide for all of life
It's sunshine and it's showers
I take them to my garden
And fill their arms with flowers
