Friendship's From The Garden ~*Marge Tindal*~ Who would have imagined that a gardener I could be? With just the sowing of a seed, to grow between you and me. A tiny seed of friendship, planted deep within. I watered and I fed it, it blossomed once again. That we are merely gardeners, tending what we have sown, has come to mean so much to me. That's how our friendship has grown. Just to think that it cost me nothing, but the planting of the seed. Look what I have gained, a friend in my time of need. So I don my gloves, grab my hat and grab my spade. I'd gladly be the gardener for the friendship that we've made. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marcy~ He gives us the seeds of friendship to sow - and all we need do is tend them with love. Is that the greatest gift or what ? Thank you for your friendship seed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Dear Marge; How wonderful your analogy of the garden and friendship! "A tiny seed of friendship, planted deep within..." This is profoundly lovely! Love, Ellie P.S. I just read your response to the "Sea" poem, and as always, you're thoughtful and praising words touch my heart. Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Dear Marge, How eloquently you have spoken about the tender care found in tending to a friendship. Plant in good soil, water regularly with love and reap bountiful rewards. Such a simple investment brings life enriching harvest. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has past Playful shadows dance Dennis L.

Awww Marge, this is such a lovely, gentle poem. And how beautifully you have sown those seeds! The friendships I've made over the years have, many times, been my lifeline. I can only hope I have tended them as carefully as I do my flowers. Thanks for this one..... Bonnie |

I love this beautiful poem and am glad it resurfaced. Friendship does grow from the tiniest seed and when it blossoms, it blesses our life. Unfortunately, sometimes root rot or some other mysterious ailment sets in and no amount of tender attentions can keep the friendship alive - and the hurt and loss stay with us forever.  |

Illusion~ And I would say to you that from the ripened flower there are many fertile seeds to be cultivated~ When it appears that one has not flourished in our tender keep ... it is perhaps time to prepare the ground well and plant another in it's place. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
