I Will Plant Again
~ By Sue ~

My mind did wonder
As I sat here in this house
Of all that I love
Which will be left here behind
When it is spring once again

It is way too cold
To sit outside for awhile
Like I use to do
Listening to Gods creatures
Who live down in the canyon

By the time spring comes
I will no longer be here
To see even one
As they come back to visit
Like they always do each year

The squirrels outside
Will come out another time
To play on the shed
Each going from tree to tree
Like they did the year before

All my feathered friends
Will be left here far behind
To fiend for themselves
Like they did before I came
With no one here to feed them

It does not seem fair
All I have to leave behind
This pleasure was mine
If only I could take her
To the place where I will be

The flowers I planted
Spending so many hours
Getting them just right
With so many bright colors
I will have to leave here too

But after I move
A bigger better garden
I will plant again
With even brighter colors
And some yellow roses too

That's the pioneer spirit! You will plant again and grow an evern bigger garden! You will be experiencing your own growing pains but you will become a proud and glorious sunflower in the process!

~ You really will get through this!

hugs,
Linda

Sue, you brought a lump to my throat with this writing. This is so very special. It's so true that, even though we leave a place (or a life), things still continue on after we are gone, even though they may not understand why we are not there. Perhaps the squirrels may come up to the house looking for the small snack handouts we used to leave. The birds will sit on empty feeders, not understanding their emptiness. Wild life may miss the sound of the rocking chair creaking on the front porch. Life goes on...
This poem of yours fills me with many sentimental feelings...the sign of a very well-written piece of work. I thank you..

Linda, thank you for your reply. Sometimes, I wonder, if I will get through this. I do all I can to hang on to hope and faith. Thank you dear friend for the hugs and encouragement.

Balladeer, thank you so much for your very kind reply. It means more to me, than you know. To know that I wrote something you really like just makes me feel real good inside. Thank you for the smile.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
