"SURPRISES AFTER MIDNIGHT"
by Judith Johnson Kypta

AS I STOOD THERE IN MY GARDEN
WITH THE MOONGLOW SHINING DOWN
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING
AS I LOOKED TOWARDS THE GROUND

IN THE GLOW....FROM LAMPS HELD HIGH
DANCING HAPPILY AROUND MY FEET
WAS A CROWD OF LITTLE PEOPLE
EVER SO CHARMING, EVER SO SWEET

TELLING ME THEY WERE APPOINTED TO  
SING TO THE FLOWERS THROUGH THE NIGHT
BECAUSE FLOWERS THRIVED ON MUSIC
AS WELL AS FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT

CIRCLING MY FEET ....DANCING FOR ME
WHILE SINGING THEIR LILTING TUNE
THROUGH THE NIGHT...UNTIL DAWN BROKE
SIGNALING THEY WOULD DEPART SOON

TELLING ME NOT TO WORRY FOR THEY'D RETURN
WITH SONGS....NOURISHING, LIKE SHOWERS
SINGING AND DANCING THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
ASSURING THE GROWTH OF THE FLOWERS!
