walking to breakfast i passed by
this freshly tidied and planted garden
outside of apartment #1
judging by what was left behind
all the tools and supplies needed
to nurture and grow
it had been
freshly planted
weeded, mulched, watered, fed
filled with rich soil and lovely plants
around the corner
a rose bush with one pink blossom
looking a little closer
on the very right little corner
i saw
the happy birthday cupcake sign
one of the best surprise gifts
i’ve ever seen
imagine the birthday person
stepping outside
of apartment #1
on this cool fall morning
only be greeted
with the surprise gift of
a radiant garden
from
someone special.
‘if there’s one thing i can say about my garden, it’s that it always surprises me.’
