I tilled the soil in ground so bare Then planted seeds in a garden square A place of wonder, a mountain to hold Both pansies and posies in colors so bold
With rake in hand I spread with care With roses galore, with beauty to share A life so wonderful, these friends I behold Then I give them love, cause friendship is gold
Deep here in thought, songs play in the air then the butterflies linger alone or in pairs Sometimes it grows way out of control But as each year passes more beauty unfolds
I watch them wake up and take time to prepare I watch them grow tall with Spring in the air A garden forgotten as weeds take hold It unleashes it’s fury, and tales are told
Knee deep in soil, I planted these seeds I watered my garden and pulled out it’s weeds With fragrance aplenty and flowers to view I planted this garden, just for you.

About this poem:
I wrote this for my mother because she is in wheelchair and loves the garden, so every year I go out and plant her a small garden in the patio outside our front door, so she can sit in her chair and enjoy the perfume from the flowers.
Very thoughtful garden and poem. The miracle of growth...nice.

Beautiful poem, but the thought is one that must bring joy. A bright flower can cheer the most dreary day, and when confined, little things make the worst moments brighter....great write....niah
