Velvet

Velvet is a magical secret garden.

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I like to go there.

We go there when we’re stressed.

We love it in our secret place.

There are flowers everywhere.

Nothing is overgrown.

The garden is so peaceful.

There’s a fountain just over there.

We take off our shoes and socks.

We splash about in the cool water.

We like to splash each other under the fountain.

We like to roam the garden’s green fields.

We pick flowers.

We hand them to each other.

I hand a bunch to Luke.

He thinks they smell lovely.

We share a hug.

We skip around the field.

We catch clouds in the sky.

We jump as high as we could.

We can’t reach the clouds….

But we can reach it in our minds.

We roll down hills.

The grass is covered in dew.

We don’t mind the dew.

We love how it tastes.

There’s nowhere we’d rather be.

We land in a heap at the bottom.

We laugh and hug each other.

It feels like Spring has begun.

We wished for Spring to last all year.

Now, Spring is in this garden.

There’s a huge tree.

It’s located in the middle of the garden.

Underneath it is moss.

Soft, green moss.

We like to rest in the shade.

The sun gets too hot.

We snuggle on the velvety green mossy carpet.

“Feels just like velvet…”

We fall asleep safely.

This garden is our paradise.

Whatever garden we chose to play in,

This one catches our eyes.

This garden’s full of flowers

And sometimes a natural surprise.
