The Summer's gone, or so it seems,
But we're not privy to God's own schemes.
God's flower fairies are still on duty,
Working away for Winter's beauty.

It might be a Winter Aconite
They're working on, to bring forth light.
Or is it a pretty Hellebore
They placed near the lake, right by the shore?



Bellis Perrenis are still on show,
And Dent-de-Lion, a bright yellow.
Then a Clematis, a flower so fair,
Looks so gorgeous swaying in the air.



Whilst walking down a path so narrow,
I found some Heart's Ease, and pretty Yarrow.
Even Hemlock, growing stately, tall,
Their purple spots mean Touch, and you'll fall.

So, poisons too, have their own place,
If the flower fairies can find a space.
Our God provides more than our needs,
But, be careful, don't you eat those seeds !!!
