Gardening With Passion

Wafting on the summer breezes, Intoxicating scent of rose Stills me just to breathe the fragrance, Admiring how my garden grows. Time has dimmed some of my passions And that I know is just as well. Of those youthful, full blown feelings, I've not the words nor will to tell. In my many years of living I have watched the ebb and flow Of variety of passions Flirting briefly and letting go. I found a love to last forever When Nature left her calling card, With my hoe and spade and clippers, Created beauty in my yard. Gardening has been my passion, Since first I stirred the fertile sod. This loved labor brings such splendor, I know I'm partnering with God. For Amy Green's "My Deepest Passion" contest. 4th place

Joyce- the way this is written almost makes it feel like words from the divine himself. Beautiful and felt deeply. A pleasure to read.

this is a great entry in that contest, joyce, I wish I knew what to talk about. I think I have too many passions so I do not know how to write on a REAL passion. And glad to know you got the computer back. LUv Andrea
