My Life as a Garden

my garden is the perfect metaphor

for the life i am living

full of potential

a new garden for me but one that was neglected

clearing out the old

discovering hidden beauty

planting the new

observing what grew and thrived in the past

removing what did not survive the winter season

section by section bringing to completion

like a fresh canvas to paint on

so many colours and textures

reshaping and balancing as the garden takes form

St Francis watching over the life in the garden

the birds, the bunnies, the frogs and the bees

the rain and the love nourish the garden

and there is always a freshness in the movement

movement of the sweet ocean breeze

my garden is a blessing

and this blessing wants to be shared with you please
