My Garden of Life
My garden of life is a maze of wonder
Come walk with me
Among flowers watered with tears.
Feet touching a carpet of dreams
Moss like and soft to the touch
Rising above the thorns.
Arms reaching to the sun
Expanding like petals
Drinking in the warmth of love.
Fighting the winds of change blowing
The tempest attacking
A storm most violent and chaotic.
I weather the storms
Accepting their challenge
Clouds are only temporary.
This garden two score by two
Has lived, loved, and cried
But never abandoned hope.
This is my garden of life
A challenge oft a battle
But mine to win or lose.
I choose to win
Though battles my be lost
I understand the cost.
This is my garden
This is my life
A price well paid.
