In my garden
There is something I find in my
garden -
I always know it is there;
Whether digging, weeding or planting -
it surrounds me like a prayer.
I feel privileged to have a spot
where I can linger long;
Enjoy fresh air and listen to the
goldfinch with his song.
Creating a little beauty gives
a sense of worth -
Giving a little tender care
to mother earth.
The years cut down on what I do -
right now I will not cease -
For in my little garden
I find precious inner peace.
