In Life's Garden - Dans Le Jardin De La Vie

I hear the whispers of past souls That guide me through life’s Wondrous garden of flowers. Each flower has a unique And beautiful bloom. I see how the fragile and Delicate injure easily and Wither and die without protection. I am amazed at the strength And endurance of the sturdy. But most of all. . . I marvel at the lowly weeds, Though they be uprooted And cast out of the garden, How they find a way to leave their Seeds behind to grow and flourish--- Undaunted. 1-18-2014 Note: This poem is a metaphoric view of the weak, the strong and the unwanted people in life. Interprétation Française Dans le jardin de la vie J'entends les chuchotements des âmes passées qui me guident par la vie Jardin merveilleux des fleurs. Chaque fleur a un unique Et belle fleur. Je vois comment le fragile et Sensible blessez facilement et Wither et meurent sans protection. Je suis stupéfié à la force Et résistance du vigoureux. Mais surtout. Je m'émerveille aux herbes modestes, Bien qu'elles soient déracinées Et fonte hors du jardin, Comment ils trouvent une manière de laisser leurs graines derrière pour se développer et s'épanouir--- Intrépide.

Thank you Deb. I went there, and to submit is just a bit more complicated than I can understand. I need to get my nephew to explain a few things to me and then I think I can do it. I appreciate you telling me about this magazine.Merci beaucoup! Connie

Congratulations on your win Connie--this was a really tough batch to judge, all so well written. I appreciated yours for your mood and sense of song, I think it sings better in French but doesn't everything?. Thanks for entering my contest.

I loved this poem, Connie - very clever with its subject matter and it worked so well. My French is very rusty these days, lol, so I'm glad it was written first in English!

Don't know much about a science book/ Don't know much about the french I took/But I do know one and one is two/And if this one could be with you/What a wonderful world this would be...

Great Poem, Connie. Deeply expressed emotion, in metaphorical relation to that wondrous garden. Amazing imagery, enjoyable overall. A plus that a french version is included as well. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.

gosh, connie, did you have a version of the poem in French. Or is it loosely interpreted by your words in English? This is really good stuff. The philosophy behind it is not typical!

I wrote it in English first and then translated it into French with online help. I would like to learn French so it helps to translate poetry into French. It sounds very pretty in the language of love I think. Thanks for your nice comment.

I can't read French, but Mikki McDonald will enjoy. We had a weed by our front porch steps that fascinated me so I let it grow and grow. The thing became a regular tree with a thick stem (trunk I call it) I finally cut it down with the aid of a spade. No doubt it will sprout again come spring. Survival of the fittest is sadly true. Always enjoy. Love, daver

Oh....this was a beauty indeed. Yes, it takes all kinds to make this world go round...The tenacity of the weeds....I'm fragile myself. I'm dealing with depression...but, I'm holding on. Thanks for sharing, Connie. C'est superb!
