My Little Forest
In Downtown Newark, New Jersey
During May, June and July 2014
My Little Forest in Downtown Newark
I enjoy my little garden
Seeing the birds, the bees
And all kinds of butterflies
I am not rich
I am not powerful
But I am free
With my little forest
With the birds, the bees
And butterflies
Oh! I spotted Mr. or Mrs. Squirrel
Coming to my garden
Nipping my young leafed rose
In the early spring
When the daffodils
And the bleeding hearts were blossoming
I was worried for a little while
When I saw no bees in spring
Now in July, they are coming
Drinking Nectar
From the butterfly bush trees
I saw a Black Swallowtail Butterfly
On Tuesday, July 15
I ran inside got my camcorder
To record its beauty
Today, July 17
A lot of my flowers are blooming
With a beautiful fragrance from
The little white flowers, Jasmine
The birds, the bees
And Red Admiral Butterfly
Visits our garden today
And a squirrel is walking on
The electric wire
The shade of the butterfly bush tree is cool
The leaves fanning with a gentle breeze
I wish we all could have this bliss
I don’t need much
This little garden
With nature
I am at Peace
I am not rich
I am not powerful
But I am free
And that is as rich as
I want to be
Finding Peace
In my little forest
In Downtown Newark, New Jersey
As free as the birds, the bees
And butterflies
And that is what I want to be
And that is a peaceful life for me
