Her Garden

From wide garden beds little faces rose To behold my mother’s face. They knew from where their water came, So gave to her their beauty and grace. Though rocks and sand had been her plight, Before wide rich black waxy loam, Nothing stopped her loving hands, Her garden was her home. Somewhere in heaven is a greenhouse, With a lushness ne'er here seen, As mother with her watering can, Humms amid blossoms’ colors and greens.

I'm liking this a lot. Makes me feel peaceful. I'm envious of people with a green thumb. Flowers and plants really livin' up a place!....80)

My dear...this struck a chord. My mother was so good with plants. She would talk to them...and my mother is no longer here. Beautiful piece full of grace. It touched me. Hugs

I love your poem, Sunlite, I still have my mother of 84, but my ex mother in law was a lover of the soil and her huge garden of flowers... She I miss and she is always in my thoughts.. Thank you for your wonderful inspirational words on my poem.. Hugs Eve
