The garden bench

There's a faded garden bench I rather like

which sits against an old brown fence.

Its weather-worn slats, once painted "Mission Green"

are now sun-bleached grey and interwoven with Jasmine tendrils

This faded garden bench which I am rather fond of

sits on a carpet of dried leaves next to the vegetable patch 

.... quietly surveying the scene
.... watching over the garden
.... fading daily 
as the Jasmine commands more and more attention!
