Garden of Life

Taking kindness for weakness
Thinking your strong
And Affection for desperation
You couldn't be more wrong
You can shrug off these things
As long as you like
But don't cry about missing the beauty in life
Love is a flower that grows in the light
And dies when you leave it alone every night
Some flowers have beauty that can't be denied
Like A Lily that gazes at stars in the sky.
In the garden of life a new flower blooms
Even when the best one is sent to the tombs
every petal that falls to the ground
Is a cry out for help that barely maKes a sound
All it takes is attention and care
And a lovers green thumb can stop the despair
If it feels like your flower is dying or bending
It may only mean that your garden needs tending
But even if your favorite flower feels dead and gone
Don't shed a tear...
....for the garden grows on....
