Gathering memories
like wildflowers
along a path
of pebbled years,
My life basket
overflows with
loving blossoms
of the Lords' blessings.
Tears of joy
spread a rainbow
of gratitude
upon my hearts' bounty,
and I am humbled
by the beauty
of life in bloom
.

upon my hearts' bounty,

This is just beautiful! *S* The images you convey must spring from a heart even more lovely than the most spectacular blossoms... it certainly gave my morning a big lift! *S*

Now if only my garden looked like that. *G*

Chris:

this is beautiful and just perfect!
Reminds me of my gardens and birdhouses
and how everything seemed so perfect
when my hands were in that soil
and the birds visited my gardens
thank you   xxoo

You just inspired me . . .
