Flowers That Grow

Morning glory wanders, twining through trees. Wildflowers invite curious insects around. Roses blossom and fragrance the breeze, “Where?” I ask. “Can greater beauty be found?” Digging in the garden, I feel right at home. Praying for plants, each seed, my next muse. Breathing in nature’s life giving loam. Dreaming about flowers, anticipating views. A child planting corn rows with grandfather near. He’d make the hole; I would drop three seeds there. No wonder my passion is a garden so dear. It is there I met love, grandfather watching with care. Now that he is gone to heaven above, I thank God for creation and flowers that grow. When I work in the garden, I feel grandfather’s love. Rejoicing in our Father whose wisdom does flow.

Working in the garden is good for the soul. My mother has and grandmother had beautiful flower gardens. My mom had each of us kids do a small garden patch so we planted and picked and canned our little patch. She felt we needed to know how to grow a garden. I still grow a garden each year. Luv Phyl

Working in the garden does make us feel closer to God and it also provides the impetus for nostalgic reflection. A beautiful, inspirational poem, Dane Ann! Love, Carolyn
