My garden has a golden flower,
It puts the rest to shame,
It stands head and shoulders above,
My flower has some fame.

In my garden many stand out,
With their soft, warm embrace,
Smiling brightly into the wind,
But only one has grace.

I have a garden with diverse
Beauties, yes, this is true,
But my golden flower is supreme,
This, then, is her debut.

Jerry, I can see you standing among your various beauties, but with eyes softly landing on one. And fingertips stroking the softest of petals. You have an amazing garden, and have brought it to life here. A lovely poem, Poet. [smiling...couldn't think of how to change my original comments, so here they are again.]

Appreciate your thoughts about my poem, Karen. Sometimes poems just are presented to you in such a way that you can't ignore it, thus was this one. Thanks again.

Sometimes that's all it takes is one to be noticed, to be heralded as the prize among all the rest.

Nice write, Jerry.
