As I sometimes work in the front yard that is not enclosed like the back,
My furkids like to watch through the glass door thinking "but Mom you lack
Our help to make the flowers and plants grow well and our yard look nice.
Don't you know that our company is more desirable than sugar and spice?"
They look so cute standing there looking out at people who dare to pass by,
Barking their warning to them that this is their turf so all away you must fly!
I picked up camera to capture a snapshot since it's always within easy reach;
This memory I will always have of these Silkies, of their devotion it does teach.
I then downloaded my pictures into my computer to have a look and to share.
They were mostly of flowering plants; I enjoy saving records of how they fare.
Since I am an accountant, keeping details of my experiences seems reasonable.
The portrayals show some pleasant memories, whether everyday or seasonable.
When I viewed the picture of the girls standing and looking through the glass,
At first I thought, "the furkids look too fuzzy, this is no good, it will not pass."
But then I looked again and much to my surprise, I saw other images clearly.
Why, there I am with the camera and the trees and flowers that I love dearly!
I bet if I look hard enough I can find other hidden images in that one print.
Some of them jump out at you; others manifest themselves with just a hint.
There's a lesson that can be learned from this picture if the truth is to be told,
A gem or two to be gleaned, could be semi-precious or maybe silver or gold.
Behind the scenes there could await for you a very unexpected special treasure;
Things aren't always as they seem, so allow time to reveal and help you measure.
Never make hasty judgements or decisions since appearances can be deceiving.
Maybe there is more substance underneath that could well be worth receiving.
