The Greatest Garden

In this I give my all and more

For sanctioned sinners win

But vacant hate will win the war

If fought outside than in

Two truths will breed and bare the fruit

I offer all mankind

For no less sacred is the bond

Of daughter, son and I

With them I wait, My patience strong

As will would will it so

My wife, my seeds, this life so brief

Thankfully my flowers grow

Idle I, yet honoured still

Gifted by the sight

My children's minds, such supple vines

Rising to the light

So when I am but dust and gravel

Leaving all I made

Will it be me, or my children, free

To pave the new found way?

There is a lovely message in this well written poem. I love the soft flow and rhyme. Very nice and a delight to read

[Keith]

Sensation compelling read. Beautiful emotional poem, a little mysterious with a nice flow. I think there are some others here in the Wc that might like this.
