My Inner Garden Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: Cliffs of Doneen by Howard Baer From the album entitled: Celtic Mystique ![]() Artist: Carl Schweninger My Inner Garden by Linda L. Dowd Tiptoe, ever so softly, thru’ the garden in my heart. Crush not my budding dreams that they might blossom and grow. Step gently, my love. Bruise not the delicate petals of this flowering soul. Plant fertile seeds of kindness within the walls of my inner sanctum. Shower them with sweet words of love and shine your golden rays of sun upon the fragile flowers growing therein. Sprinkle them with acts of kindness and behold the beauty that abounds. Tend this garden, deep in the soul of me, with tender loving ways, so that I might touch blue skies and fly free among the stars. These rich and vibrant flowers, that dwell within the garden of my love, will be forever there for your plucking ~ and consummate loving pleasure... Nurture them with the essence of you, and let not the weeds of deception choke and bind the inner garden of one who loves you so. There be no force on Earth that exceeds that of the power of love. ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ |
