In My Garden of Friends

In My Garden of Friends

 

In my garden of friends,

Count I my blessings.

For all have touched my life

By their being.

 

They’ve  gotten me through tough patches,

Volunteering their hearts with seeds of care.

Some have come to fulfill a need,

And only for a time they were there.

 

For there are certain seasons

In which they come.

To share smiles and laughter

Until their purpose is done.

 

In my garden of friends,

There are special ones still.

These are friends who stay

Throughout life and times real.

 

So, no matter who you’ve been--

Whether a time in need, watering friend,

Or a friend long-lasting planted one--

Grateful am I for hearts lent.

 

In my garden of friends,

I hope I am counted and dwell

With pleasant memories

In their gardens as well.

I am sure you are blooming in their gardens as well.
Someone is never poor who has friends...and they mean more than anything.

or things.
once my mom asked me if I didn't want to have things, like they had...my answer was, no, friends/people are more important than any material possessions...
I still hold to that.
friends are gold....possessions are fool's gold...

Lovely poem about friendship. We all need friends to lean on from time to time. Give them plenty of tlc and they will continue to flourish and serve you well. Nicely penned Melinda.
