Dreaming Again
~ By Sue ~

I had my tulips
As beautiful as can be
Some yellow and red
I had to leave them behind
Now they will all be mowed down

Hours I spent planting
A sight just for me to see
They were my pleasure
It breaks my heart just to think
The pleasure taken from me

There will come a day
I will have another house
To plant more flowers
A pleasure that will be mine
One that I will always keep

Some yellow tulips
For each one of my dear friends
A friendship garden
And for all my feathered friends
A birdbath in the middle

Some shelter there too
To protect them from the cold
For the winter months
This dream I will always keep
Until it does someday come true

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

This dream I will always keep
Until it does someday come true


A lesson worth remembering.

Imagine all the People living life in peace...

Oh, Sue, this one hurts. I could feel your pain.
You are so sweet, friend. I hope and pray
that one day all your dreams and more will
become realities for you, Sweetie. You are so
tenderhearted and compassionate.
Thank you for sharing this part of your heart with us.  


Heart Hugs  
Ethel

Sounds like a garden divine. I miss mine as well...the loving tending to it, the anticipation of seeing the fruits of my labor blossom and grow...You wrote so beautifully of this...

If you do not have the land in which to plant the seeds, perhaps you could plant the seeds in your heart and watch that garden blossom and grow...

Love & Light,
Linda

Sue - as I said in my reply to your comment in my Haiku, go treat yourself to some tulips now! Never forget your love of nature as it proves to us just how strong and resilient we really are. I know. Once upon a time, I had a garden taken from me, and I was heartbroken. A bouquet of family and friends taught me to be strong, and now, some time later, I have an even more beautiful garden(to me anyway).....just as my sister Enchantress said!! Take heart, dear poetess. hugs, Chris
