My Magical Garden

In my magical garden, I grow beautiful pink roses and white lilies for all to see. I tend to each flower with love and care, for dear they are really just for you. Once it was your magical garden, now mine to attend to all day long. Your loving gardening hands, have been passed down to me. "Roses rooted in the earth Bud in rhyme and verses sage Lilies know a ghostly birth Strewn across the patterned page." As I stand here in shock and amazement, roses once rooted in the earth and ghostly lilies cover your coffin. Where did all the time go, seems like only yesterday you were in your magical garden.

A deep thought provoking poem Paula, you certainly got me thinking, my father used to plant roses, and years after he died I still have two rose trees left which I have managed to tend to and keep blossoming and I will always remember him as he was the world's most wonderful father, I loved and love him dearly. He died in 1991 30 years ago in his sixties. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
