One day soon I will plant a garden
of flowers filled with wonder and joy.

Hand-picked varieties will bloom
to remind me of finest gifts true —

Memories I select that showed me
rarest gifts, most beautiful of you.

I will sit in my garden, listen
to birdsong and watch the wind move like

The very breath of God that sustains
me through everything. I'll make a path,

Perhaps a labyrinth, cultivate
only love in solitude. I will

Invite those life leads me to, little
children and the animals I love.

Deep thinkers will gather, sit with me
beneath the stars. A light-hearted love

That surpises me will sustain all
this garden's beauty and raise in me

Distillation of my purity.
Here I will receive my joy, my peace

And I will hold you, whole and complete
as I see you through eyes of my heart.
