A Gentle Garden

A gentle garden
full of flowers,
life, and color
Beautifully scented
watered by love
cared for in faith
This is all we’ve ever wanted
Good soil to plant
these fertile seeds
of kindness;
fountains and a firepit
for making wishes
and finding cheer
Tendrils of hope will
sprout delicately in
the spring, urged on
by the sun, and by our
clear and bright eyes
We will not need to tame it
We can allow it space
We have enough
