Rosie Robin Greeting Card

Rosie Robin Think of a country garden and one thing springs to my mind A sweetly singing little bird of a very special kind The gardener’s friend with a scarlet crimson breast Darting from wheelbarrow to spade with very little rest My friendly loveable robin is always welcome to me She swoops in to get some worms; she watches me you see Flitting and hopping from garden cane to flower pot Patiently waiting for me to dig over the vegetable plot In spring she nests in unusual places, an old hat or boot will do I live in harmony with this little bird her trust in me which grew So dear, as she reminds me of what my mother used to say That when missing loved ones are near a robin will appear She remains a loyal visitor as the summer turns to fall When I feed my little Rosie, I feed a piece of my soul As the garden turns to white and the leaves drop away She provides a welcome flash of colour on a crisp winter’s day
