Garden of Hope

What a beautiful day this is going to be.
Come.
Let us take a walk in my garden of hope.
It is a peaceful quiet place.
The evergreens are dense and shaped in the form
of
angels, with wings spread in a protective concave.
No outside noise from the harried world enters
my
garden of hope.
In my garden, a sky of blue, a gentle breeze
and
the tranquil sounds of a babbling brook.
My little pond filled with colorful little fish and charming lily pads.
Surrounding this peaceful scene
are the flowers
of
lavender Delphinium, tall Desert-Candles,
and striking Oriental poppies.
Delicate False dragonheads, the color of delicate pink, nestles close
to the moist warm little pond.
Step a little closer into my garden and smell
the lovely roses of brilliant colors and of every kind.
This blue rose will take you, as you inhale the fragrance,
to the land of fantasy and impossibility.
It has the essence of hoping for a miracle and carrying the magic
of
new possibilities.
Come, rest in this cushioned chair for a bit.
Relax.
Here is a footstool for your tired feet.
The cool gentle breeze will caress your skin
and
the sun will kiss your face ever so gently, as not to burn your tender lips.
This lovely garden is for all.
So won’t you come and join me in
my lovely
Garden of Hope?

I have a garden like that ..now if I would only take the time to enjoy it (I just mowed half my lawn and steam is coming off my body..if it wasn't for the fact fish  live in my pond I would dive into it but I am afraid I would boil them
