My Garden

My Garden

Near the center of my garden 
lies a broken faded rose..
once alive with beauty 
a gentle wisps of prose..

But no rain came to water
no sunlight to bring life,
a sad and lonely garden 
like a unattended wife.

So with tears of disappointment
I watered all the rest,
and hope that through some pruning 
I could keep what was left.

Though the rose is dying
its life was not in vain,
it brought joy and gladness
to a life once filled with pain.

Cultivate your garden
prune it with your love,
nourish it with promise
committed like a dove.

Then rain will come to water
and the sun will come to shine,
and maybe even a rainbow
because you spent a little time.

It takes a lot of smiling and caring to bring a garden of life to a sparkling wonderment. Nice poem, me lady.........................g

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
