Summertime Blooms Unexpected Blossoms

Listen my sweetie as I tell you this

It all happened a long, long time ago

Sit for a moment as I reminisce

The grasslands around town needed a mow

A garden club was made by the town hall

For all to help out in the nice weather

Also to make space for the game baseball

Its great medicine being together

Hanging in the garden is in my blood

I love the great outdoors, the dirt and sun

Swimming, fishing and playing in the mud

Friends and family make it so much fun

Oh and by the way my name is Irene

These are my brothers and I am fourteen

A June morning dawned a clear sunny sky

Filling me full of happiness and glee

The rain stopped and it was now hot and dry

Got all my chores done by seven-o-three

We all met by the church at eight o'clock

Helped unpack and organize everything

At eleven with great surprise and shock

In shade over yonder the choir did sing

Singing along as we dug and planted

Tons of amazing colorful flowers

The results were fairy book enchanted

And it only took us a few hours

This wonderful day in the great outside

Full of fresh air and fun it did provide

All the town gardens are a lovely site

That will last all summer and years to come

For people to enjoy with much delight

They're no longer ugly, sad or humdrum

Later that day there was a barbeque

With so many goodies and homemade treats

Also chili, fried chicken and beef stew

Those delicious foods were super good eats

Before the day ends we all took a stroll

Sauntering allover nature's hillside

Soaking it deep into our hearts and soul

Its vivid beauty had us all wide eyed

Everything in town is perfectly right

My first kiss was that night under moonlight
