Simplicity in a star

Miss Daphne calls me over

to enjoy her scent

and know for sure

that all we ever dream comes true

with fragrance here to bring delight

and the softness shows for all to see

the gift of nature is truly free.

So for all who need a cheery lift,

come over to Daphne

and enjoy a whiff!

Simplicity in a star

perfume in the air,

the frosted petals

the colour of love......

a winter delight

that comes into bloom

when the cloudy cold days

do sometimes bring gloom.

But here in the garden,

the garden of scent,

I know there’s a heaven

and I do feel content.

Daphne is gorgeous,

jonquils divine,

winter-sweet is spicy

and honeysuckle sublime….

and here in my garden

with my lavender friend

I’ll enjoy my perfumed days

until spring comes along

and freesias and roses

will be singing their song…….
