In The Gardens Of Buckingham Poem by Melvina Germain
In The Gardens Of Buckingham
She’s a woman of deep heartfelt emotion.
A power house filled with family devotion.
She walks with pride, her silhouette can’t hide.
She’s known all over the word, wears no disguise.
Her family history fills many pages.
Books and books will go down through the ages.
She’s a woman of great beauty, both outside and in.
She walks through the streets of England old,
With promise, grace and impeccable taste.
As a child she ran and played in the gardens of
Buckingham, that’s where my story of her began.
My mother-in-law told many wonderful stories,
of remembrance of a duke that said his daily good
mornings to the ladies who worked on their hands and
knees tufting carpets that lined the palace floors.
Beneath the throne my Mother-In-Law knelt,
tufting away to her hearts content.
When she spoke of the Queen her face shone bright.
She adorned a precious beautiful light.
She was proud as can be of her English heritage,
and spoke fondly of Buckingham Palace.
I love the stories my Mother-In-Law told.
of the Queen, of Buckingham, of Great England old.
Some day I hope to fulfill my Mother-In-Laws dream.
Drive the streets of England enjoying the scenes.
Melvina, if your mother-in-law saw it now she would probably never recognise the place. So many things have changed over the years, not always for the best. There is small pocket that resist change. I can still remember how it was when I came back to England in the late fifties and compared to now I would rather have it then. A wonderful poem though, brought back memories of many years ago. Top Marks from me. Thanks for sharing it my friend. David
I hope so too Melvina, and if so you must look me up and visit. I'm not in London though, but Derby. But nothing is impossible. A delightful read, and what wonderful stories your Mother-in-law must have of this time of her life. What a great place to work. Loved the read. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
Pure enchantment. Warm, lovely and very connective to the reader. You have my applause, Melvina. Love, Sandra

Melvina...this is wonderful! Did your Mother-In-Law really work at Buckingham Palace. I am going to feel like a nut-case if this was supposed to have some other deep meaning and it went right over my head! lol But, if so...that is amazing and, either way, I love your poem! Happy belated Mother's Day! Sheila
