The Garden I See In My Heart Karen Torbiak 2000 I tread carefully down rows carefully designed by me as I prepare my heart for HE who guides my life I begin my gardening by first visiting that place left barren where no light nor rain falls to feed what’s growing there My heart still weeps as I view the thistles and the thorns growing wild where they know I must leave them in the wildness of lost hope Even now I see the few wild roses struggling to bloom as they are choked by weeds refusing to give them place to thrive The ground is dried and cracked with a grayness covering all that would grow here in this place where nothing lives Shedding tears of regret I turn my back upon this place of poison and decay with all the memories that it gave As I move forward I smile at the memories brought in the planting of each flower in glorious bloom The Wild Flowers come first with myriad of colors bursting into fields made green by the love of the Chief Gardener Scattered in wild array they bloom to life in all the colors of the rainbow Still some were choked by weeds and thistles still scattered among a garden left to grow on its own Bright yellow Buttercups began to flourish drawing the sunlight of truth into the heart of this garden As strength and knowledge were gained carefully tended rows appeared with each new flower nurtured to bring forth its very best Green grass flourished in a soft carpet of lushness as each row was divided by rows of green showing ground ready to receive the planting Blue Bells sang as music touched the heart bringing gifts of gentle love through notes both loud and clear Tulips held the sweet nectar of love from friends held and captured and given to all who entered in Red Roses fill the air with passion for life with strength and surety within soft petals opened wide to catch the sun Orchids of all design spill forth with each new truth revealed to show where love has touched this garden that is may flourish There is still much rich earth prepared anew for planting of life’s beauty found amid the world One spot in the center of this garden is tended with great care that when this flower comes in bloom it will show that most rare The Blue Rose is planted here and waits for love to nourish that it too may blossom to fill this garden with rare love eternal |

Hi, love. Joyce and I follow each other around like two peas to a pod.*giggling with delight* I am so glad to find you. Honey I remember you well and your wonderful words that sing to my heart. You are so right this is a beautiful board with the most loving of hearts. You could visit my site to check it out if you like. Joyce has taught me so much about writing and thanks to you I have experimented a lot. Spelling is even improving. *giggling* Love to you, dear one. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com |
