Garden of Good Deeds

Beauty is nourished and thrives in the mind of the admirer.

Within the garden of good deeds


There sprouted a lithe, drab weed


Rooted deep in the soil of discontent


Nourished by the pill of death


Offshoots of the infiltrator spread


'Til one day no flowers blossomed


Color and fragrance adandoned


The garden of good deeds


For now it was enveloped


With a population of lithe, drab weeds


Dead is the garden of good deeds


It died not from the infiltration


Of the lithe drab weeds


It's demise was foretold


By the tears in the gardener's eyes


Color and fragrance it seems


He had come to regard with disdain


Permitting the pill of death


In the soil of discontent


To roam freely within the garden


Of good deeds

Your inspiration is a true reflection of your good heart, one whose garden has been cleared of lithe drab weeds. How else could you write with such incredible wisdom and pass on your good deeds? You have given me much to contemplate as I get ready for bed. Thank you!

God bless you. Kathy
