GARDEN OF LOVE
I raise my hands up to the Heavens
And thank you dear God above.
For deep within me you planted seeds
That would one day grow into love.
Your wisdom astounds me for you always know
When the perfect time is for me.
Because a seed that lies dormant so many years
Begins to sprout in my time of need.
And the growing time is so unique
Sometimes fast and others so slow.
But when I need love most of all
Blooms flourish in my soul.
They come in a rainbow of colors.
Some in a cluster and some alone.
Some so vibrant and full of life
Yet others with a subdue tone.
Those that reach heights above all others
Never block the warmth of sunshine.
But feed through their roots to the seedlings
For they know that love is my lifeline.
The blooms of love live on forever
Never fading but thriving to grow.
I thank you God almighty above
For the garden of love in my soul.
