In the Garden
In The Garden Of My Life
In the garden of my life,
there are many different flowers
in many different beds
There are beds grown among the rocks
full of the ever present brambles .
Now some would say ,
" Those are weeds! Pull them out ! "
but they forget about those sweet berries of summer.
And sometimes the thorns keep out
the unwanted things in life .
There are beds groen in dry sunny places .
These are the ones that yeild the bigger bolder flowers
that intimidate some gardeners .
But a little boldness is good to make a garden stand out .
There are shady beds in my garden also .
These beds are reserved for the flowers that have
special needs and they require a little more shelter
from the world.
But in there quiet way they also add beauty to my garden .
And then their are the flowers that require no beds .
They are no less wanted or appreciated ,
but just seem to do better when they stand on their own .
All of the flowers thta live in my garden ,
are not there forever.
Some are only there for a season and some for decades .
Others are there for a lifetime .
But all the flowers in my garden are there to be loved .
To share their strengths , weaknesses , and beauty with me .
From the tiny Lawn Daisy to the long stemmed English
Tea Rose they are all beautiful and neccessary in my life .
To all those flowers , and you know which ones are you ...
Thank you for sharing your beuty with me .
