Through the eyes of a young kitten the world is full of wonder
Lots of new places to explore and things to hide under
Blossom jumped out of the removal van and excitedly looked around
She stretched and walked around the cottage to explore her new grounds
The air was sweet with flowers and grass glistening with fresh dew
Suddenly something fluffy circled her head buzzing as it flew
She heard a gently humming and curiosity led her to investigate
She followed a gravel path lined with tulips and pushed past a garden gate
The humming grew louder when she arrived at an old apple tree
Nestled underneath it was a beehive full of happy little bees
“Welcome to your new home”! said the nearest bee closer he flew
“My name is Honey”, said the friendly little bee, “we have so much to show you “
The bee took her to the potting shed where he explained the little mice lived
Then they met the hedgehog family who nested in the compost heap
The ducks splashed about in the pond waving with their young
Frogs leapt across lily pads, oh it looked like so much fun!
Everyone was so welcoming and their kindness was true
Blossom was going to love living here with her new friends, she just knew
As the sun began to fade the bees all settled back in their hive for the night
Blossom waved “see you again tomorrow little ones, night night, sleep tight”.

“Oww!” yelped Mr Fox, as he unexpectedly landed on a very spiky thing
Stuck in his paw was a long needle that had given him a rather nasty sting
There below Hedgehog was curled up unaware he had caused Fox a fright
“Wake up Hedgehog” he cried, “you shouldn’t be asleep at this time of night”

With a big yawn Hedgehog slowly uncurled himself as his tiny eyes blinked
“I’ve been up all night exploring”, he explained, “so I just wanted forty winks”
Stretching his little feet, he padded across the soft earth until he found a large tree
This is a nice quiet spot he thought, I can nod off in these leaves and no one will bother me

“Argh! Wake up Hedgehog” someone yelled, “It’s still night time don’t you know! “
A large pair of feet stomped about as Hedgehog looked up and saw the Crow
He flew off noisily flicking dirt at Hedgehog and causing the leaves to fly all around
As it grew quiet, he heard a tiny pitter patter of many feet along the soft ground

Through tired eyes Hedgehog saw a family of mice watching him from close by
“Can you help me find a quiet place to rest? I am just so very sleepy” he sighed
“Oh yes”, squeaked the mice excitedly, “come with us for we love a good long nap”
Smiling to himself, Hedgehog thought there isn’t really any arguing with that..

Surely there is nothing wrong with looking sweet and nice?
Pollyanna certainly has a knack to make others look twice
A dainty flower in her hair always makes her feel good
Pretty and feminine, feeling like a guinea pig should

On Monday you will see her wearing a poppy of red
For Tuesday its blue forget-me-nots that tend to spread
Perhaps some sweet violets on the days that follow
Sometimes creating a daisy chain that gleams like a halo

At the weekend she favours a golden dandelion head
As it’s Sunday she often has a longer lay in her straw bed
Whatever the occasion she’s not dressed without a bloom
Smiling as she passes you wafting her gentle perfume.

Sometimes you know what I’m about to say
It makes you special in every way
You understand me and laugh at my mistakes
With the ridiculous things I often undertake
You tolerate me when no one else would
You are patient and kind and far too good
Having someone like you by my side
Gives me the wings on which I can glide
Someone to depend on confide and confess
Laugh and cry with, a friend to call best
And through it all we have the love that we share
So can I just say, I’ll always be hare x
