Image result for Zinnias in the garden

The zinnias  purchased were of fuchsia
        
          Then reproduction died

      All the beauty's contribution
     
                    Left garden's side

Sadness filled lovers' hearts; tore them apart

          Gold zinnias left, too
    
      She decided green ones to start

                    Some orange, not blue 

Patience grows a garden, prayer gives hope

          Love covers many sins

      Giving the faithful means to cope

                    Right always wins

Amazing wisdom for a living can be found in this poem: A landscape can be grown with perseverance, and faith can be found through meditation; nevertheless, compassion can hide a myriad of faults. Providing the loyal with the tools to adapt means that justice will prevail.
