My Garden

"So plant your own garden and decorate your soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers."
Jorge Luis Borges

In my garden there are
Wildflowers and weeds
Natural growth
From free sown seed

Roses red and refined
Manicured stems
Reaching beauty
Love's little gems

Queen Anne's lace
Delicately intricate
Arise next to
Daisies spring innocent

Lilies and orchids
Decorate with elegance
A bed of sweet peas
Their bliss endless

Daffodils, iris and tulips
Sprout eternal
A passionate declaration
To a ground so fertile

Each petal a meaning
Every stem standing
Soaking in the light
In life truly basking

In my garden of many
Colors and fragrance
Cultivated willingly
With nature's patience.
