For my beloved sister-in-law, Georgia, who died too young last Sunday.

Healing Garden Plant a rose for beauty Plant lavender to soothe; Plant marigolds for sunny faces And plant lilacs for youth. Plant an acorn to grow an oak tree; Plant a pepper tree’s gentle caress. Plant palm trees to sway in the breeze, Jacaranda for the purple dress. Your garden is your memory Each new growth a loving thought Every flower, butterfly, and bud, Exchanged for what we’ve lost.

Life is like a flower; when the flower dies we may feel a sense of abandonment and much pain. With such a beautiful garden, in time you can be glad that she has lived, and remember her smile and joy.
A poem that sooths the soul, with serenity and love.
A garden too water, always.
