A Garden Growning Around My Heart

I've got a garden,
 Growing around my heart,
 With little blue flowers,
 Called forget me nots,
 I plant a seed,
 Not to long ago,
 i'm just waiting for it to grow,
 Its a very rare flower,
 it blossoms only but once a year, I water it daily with my lonely tears, 
 This flower does not need the sun it gets the warm rays of my love,
 It blooms only for a day,
 The day you went away,
 I sit and watch the flower slowly open its lilac and pink petals,
 One by one the petals open,
 Little white balloons fly up and out into the sky,
 I look back at the flower and all the petals have fallen to the ground,
 All that is left is the stigma,
 On that stigma lays a little angel, she slowly vanishes away but where she once laid is a seed,
 the seed I will plant every year.


written back in 2012 by Davina browne,
inspiration for the poem was losing a precious angel

"it blossoms only but once a year, I water it daily with my lonely tears, This flower does not need the sun it gets the warm rays of my love" With love, anything can grow and flourish! Those two lines are my favrite. This is brilliant, quite beautiful- really enjoyed reading. Those last two lines are really touching..your precious angel is always with you, and will inspire many more beautiful verses I'm sure.. I also like the imagery..I can picture the white balloons floating off....Always Laura
