Garden of You

by Eric CampbellOn sunny days I enjoy stepping into my backyardWalking over to my fenceAnd peeking into your gardenIt’s beautiful.I often wonder if you plannedTo perfectly place these plantsI watch as you tend to your aloes and dracaenasI’m enthralled by the love you have for your baby’s breaths and hydrangeasThe way you glow when you are near your sunflowers.They surround you and lean into youAs if you are their motherGoddess.I know better than to pick the rosesNot for fear of the thornsBut instead, so I can continue to watch it grow.
