A Sevenelle for Potlatch Challenge

Welcome to My World

by June Sargent

Just walk on through the little gate
Come one, come all - no need to wait
I'll treat you like a special guest
with opportunity to rest
and look at nature at its best
So, just relax and follow me
An orchid's world is what you'll see

The scents of sugar and of spice
infuse the air with all that's nice
A vibrant purple, pink and blue
kaleidoscope will dazzle you
with views of every shade and hue
So, just relax and follow me
An orchid's world is what you'll see

Presenting Miss Blue Butterfly
Her cousin Moonlight Firefly
Let's not ignore Maroon Sunrise
Together they will tantalize
with visions of pure paradise
So, just relax and follow me
An orchid's world is what you'll see
