Watering my flowers, Planting my seeds. . . Life would be so simple If these were all my needs. If there were just a shade tree To cool me in this heat, My heart would be so happy . . . My Garden, complete. My life is my Garden; My flowers, my thoughts. Of me, the seed I give to others, But what about my wants? I dream of a willow. There are tears on my pillow, For my Garden is incomplete Without your serenity. [This message has been edited by iliana (12-15-2003 12:21 AM).] |

Thanks so much, BluesSerenade. I wrote this when I was 19 years old. That was many years ago, but still has meaning for me.

Hello Iliana I took one look at the title and knew I was going to love this. I find so much inspiration when out in my garden and I have written many poems about it. Your words took me to your garden and it was a very beautiful journey. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

So true, iliana, it isn't selfish to tend to your own needs and nurture the flower within you. You are a wonderful writer and it is pleasing to read you. Thank you again iliana. |
