These pictures were taken by me personally and are pictures from my pride and joy - my garden!

* * * * *

Our lives are much like a garden
as we witness the beginning of new life
only to see another life is over
We hope to choose the right path
that may lead us to a bountiful harvest
but some of us end up lost in the
jungle as we search for our guiding light

In my garden of life I find remnants
of friendships past, friendships
that once bloomed have now gone to
seed and been taken with the wind
But I find many new friendships are
blooming in this beautiful garden
of mine and each and every bloom
is given plenty of tender loving care

The difficult times in life
are much like the weeds in my garden
that need to be kept in check and
constantly removed so as not to
spoil the surrounding beauty

Love is always in bloom here
presenting a kaleidescope of color
and an abundance of fragrance
As love matures with time
it becomes more comfortable in its
environment and is the basis for
a successful garden

My garden of life is constantly
showered and nurtured with love
received by others who come and
make themselves at home in my heart
They surround me with their warmth
giving me inspiration through their
words which are a constant source
of food for my soul

The pictures of your beautiful garden and your garden statuary are magnificent. I too love to garden more than anything, so I can really appreciate all the time and hard work that has gone into what you have created here. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures - I wish I could come and sit awhile. Hugs, Marti

Sue: Your garden is obviously an enchanted place! What a wonderful place for you to work and write. I loved the poem.
