Constance La France Poet Verse

When Tomorrow Dawns

 

Two gardens meet in the mist
Both gardens sublime in beauty
One called, the past
And one called, the future
And I . . . 

Climbed the lichen covered wall
The ivy hidden wall
That divided . . . 

I left the garden of the past behind
All the lovely tangled vines
And stepped into the garden of new growth
It was time to lay the past to rest . . .

So in the dawn of tomorrow
I am reborn . . .
