Joy of Visitors

To blond haired boy on walk with grandma

     who pulls seed heads from garden flowers

To runner who pounds by my garden

     flushing goldfinches feeding on seeds

To tyke in stroller pushed by mother

     fingers pointing out colorful blooms

To cats who squabble over catnip

     to decide who will get to roll first

To skippers who sip flower's nectar

     and create a magical vision

To brown gray lizard who feasts on bugs

     and skitters across my front sidewalk

To hummingbird's flight just after dawn

      that creates an enchantment for eye

Thank you for stopping by my garden

     to share the joy a garden provides
