If life were a garden…..
Mine would be lush and green –
Filled with roses of remembrance,
Snapdragons for my children,
Lillies of the valley for my teardrops
Tulips for my friends, each a different hue;
If life were a garden…..
Mine would be warm and sunny –
Rich with love and friendship,
Ripe with fragrant blossoms,
A rainbow colored tapestry
Of intricate design;
If life were a garden…..
Mine would be constantly changing –
Young buds beginning their journey,
Climbers extending their reach,
Mature flowers basking in sunshine,
Older ones dipping their heads;
If life were a garden…..
Mine would be short on regrets,
A few scattered weeds to remind me
That nothing is perfect by far,
And raindrops are part of the growing –
My flowers bloom best where they are.
