The Flower

One of the Farmers friends just died, so I wrote him a poem

The Flower

 

Of Heaven I am not quite sure,
but like to think I know…

 

A Garden with bright sun above,
where dark clouds never show.

 

Where the Gardener visits every day,
 yet never a seed did sow.

And as He fills His watering can,
from the well that’s never dry…

 

He spies new life as a tiny leaf,
and that always makes Him cry…

 

For the flower that this leaf will be…
had once bloomed for you and I.

 

For Tommy

May I call this a homage or an eulogy ?
This is a great eulogy for your friend.

What a wonderful poem for a dear friend, very nice.

[Gandré]

This has even archetypes, this is poetry, opening sequence of images....

[Honeypot]

I hope this is the way it is too. Lovely little poem. It's got a very nice almost wistful tone to it. I love the metaphor for God as the Gardener.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful poem. Sometime planting a flower can bring some sort of peace.
