Joyce Johnson Poet Quatrain

My Passion

Wafting on the summer breezes,
Intoxicating scent of rose.
Stills me just to breathe the fragrance,
Admiring how my garden grows.

In my many years of living
I have watched the ebb and flow
Of variety of passions,
Flirting briefly, letting go.

I found a love to last forever
When first I stirred the fertile sod.
This loved labor brings such splendor
I know I'm partnering with God.

Won 2nd in Brian's contest
