The Secret Garden Poem

What will come of this dark dreary place?
Can I become a happy person
dressing myself, playing by myself
I have a lot to learn.
Who is that crying when I hear?
They tell me it is the wind.
I know it is a human, not an adult either
I must find the cause of this crying.
Perhaps we can be friends.
Why does Mr. Craven hate the world?
If he would just open the doors and windows
and for once look at the moor for the beauty it holds
instead of always running away...
Why is all the doors in the house locked up and shut away?
The beauty is yet to be seen hidden behind doors
Where does the key lay?
Hidden under the dirt for a decade or more
Such a pretty little Robin leading the way
Now show me the door
and we can change this place.


I have always loved this book/movie. I can remember watching it over and over again as a young child. I was so excited to get started reading it that I am already over half way done. It is so good I just might watch the movie tonight!
