My Garden

I have a garden high on a hill

So full of life; so full of beauty…

Upon that hill so majestically

Rests a single red rose for me

To care for and to nurture

What started out as a tiny seed,  

Has now become

The only thing I will ever need

The seed was planted two years ago

From then I have walked many times

To that seed on the hill

I have talked to, laughed with, and cried over

This tiny seed planted so firmly in the ground

And over the years I have watched it grow

To the blooming beautiful bud that it is today

It looked to me for comfort from the stormy days

And for warmth from the cold winter nights

I was there when his buds began to wilt

With a gentle touch I guided him toward the sun

In his own way he thanked me everyday

For the tenderness and care I had shown

His beauty glowed across my garden

An angelic glow surrounded him

Like an angel sent from above

One day I noticed another seed growing

Next to my beautiful rose

I noticed a new glow yet could not say

What it did to me to see him so happy

They were a pair it was plain to see

But I had cared and loved my rose

Far longer than had this seed

To myself I kept hidden

As I had done all this time

Fearful that my rose would vanish before my eyes

Many days did pass without seeing my rose

For I knew he no longer needed me

 Then from deep within my tears a voice

Came forth and spoke to me

I had to go see my rose once more

I could not let him die

I could not let him go

An eternity passed or so it seemed

Afraid of what I might see

High on my hill I stood

I was again

Captivated by the beauty of my rose

Shining so brightly in the summer sun

I knew at this moment that I must say

What had been hidden away

Since he was a seed

I had cared for him, watered him, fed him,

I had loved him, I had always loved him.

He was my rose, in my garden, on my hill

I told him my love on that warm summer day

Inside I cried joyous tears of release

How I had been gentle and watched him grow

Yet was so afraid that he would leave me

So I had let my feelings be

My tears fell on his blood red petals

And I was lifted to the clouds

I thought God had taken my hand

And led me to His door yet it was not Him

It was my rose or what was my rose

Was now a shining image of the love I had sewn

He was my angel he was my strength

He lifted me higher than the clouds themselves

Were my eyes and heart deceiving me?

Could it be that my love, my rose, loved me?

Heaven’s floors opened, a heavenly light

So bright so glorious

Touched my heart like never before

He does, he did, he said, he loved me

This rose planted with love

Loved all these years

Was finally loving me too

My heart is full my eyes will no longer cry

Tears of sadness as I watch my rose try to fly

My rose is here out of love

Out of love that together we made

Our journey though still long and hard

Together I know this

Standing so strong and true

Shall withstand all tests of fate

There shall never be another rose

To fill my garden walls

Another rose will never been the same

Another rose shall never have

The color of my heart

The love in my heart

In the color of their petals.
