Weeds in the Beautiful Qarden
In the garden, I found so much peace, for in the garden I learned how to release. 1 can stay in the garden for hours upon hours, enjoying the quietness, the serenity, especially the flowers. In the garden is my favorite place, for in the garden I feel safe. The water in the stream is clean and, oh, so clear. Healing deep, deep healing is definitely near. The water from my cupped hands that soften the soil is my tears from so much toil. The rocks in the bubbling brook represents all o f life's hard knocks I took. The two scraggly weeds that just don't belong illustrate descendants in my very own home. When the weeds are pulled from the ground, they are all those hurt feelings that did surround. The weeds swimming further and further away symbolize the departure o f my sad, sad array. In the Gam den o f Gethsemane is where Jesus went to pray. The Garden o f Serenity is where my soul shall continue to stay.
