His Garden of Thoughts

Creating a water landscape, of a pond in the back yard. Below his flower gardens, lies the place in regard. A bridge over a pond of water lilies, stretched across from bank to bank. Set for inspirational scenery, for the artist’s hands to paint. Impressionism at its best, and water lilies everywhere. A water garden of peace, painted as a gift to share. To be enveloped by his garden, Monet lived what he sought. Tranquility, serenity, and beauty, outlines his garden of thoughts.

Did this derive from looking at one of his paintings? This sounds like a very serene place. A friend of mine has a water garden that could be described in this same fashion. Enjoyed reading this.

My daughter had just turned 15 at the time. When I lost him I was overwhelmed by grief but because of my faith it made it easier to heal and accept that it was God's will. For whatever reason, God wanted that baby here for that short time and then called him home. I know that my son will always walk with Christ. If he can't be here with me he is in the best place he could be. What you do with your work is wonderful and can help someone in nedd find their faith. God bless you always. Love Robin

This is a beautiful write and a wonderful tribute. The imagery and flow are perfect. Thank you for all of your comments. You are such a talented wrier and a kind and thoughtful soul. I am truly honored by them all and I am at a loss for words that you would like to write a poem about Aarons' loss. I was in mid-pregnancy when I lost him. I went into premature labor. He was born alive but there was nothing they could do. This happened 61/2 years ago (5/15/02). He was a welcome surprise. (cont.)
