A Girl and her Garden

She tends to her garden

with arched forward hope

religiously pouring

the watered words

that seep into his thirsty roots

Colorful buds fill their earth

and flowers spread like crescent smiles

Upon the ground they’ve chosen to cultivate

together

At times the rain brings stubborn weeds

that push their way

to reclaim the soil and change their garden forever

 But like the sun that visits each day

She pulls some gently and others she lets

Grow happily beside

the flowers that brought them together

Her love is this garden she never neglects

The seasons that bring

A newfound trust

A new leave remains in their hearts

In this garden of life

In this garden of love

Forever
