In God's Garden of Life

I have known tender moments that have undone my soul 
felt deep sadness and touched the cornerstone of 
life's euphoria... 
I have loved and lived, years of sacrifice and indulgences
brought my body to the font of satisfaction just to return
to a hunger I never knew I possessed; 
I've experienced hate and anger, charity and mercy 
"ACCEPTANCE AND REBUTTAL" 
I have been both frugal and extravagant, 
stung by a bee saved by a horse. 
I was born wild and tamed way too soon,  
Now I am living out my remaining years as a classic rose, 
 in God's beautiful garden of love.

We will bury you under a lawn not of grass but with beautiful fragrant roses. Hugs.
