In the garden of life
There are flowers
And there are weeds
The flowers offer encouragement
Love and support
Planting words that grow like seeds
Rippling thru my mind
Returning when I need to hear them again
The weeds try to get me to focus
On my weakest points
Like jealousy, anger, resentment
Stealing joy, causing me not to trust
Then at just the right moment
A flower springs forth
Displacing the weed
Encouraging me, making me smile
Planting positive words
That grow like seeds
And fill my soul and mind and being
With joy and and love
And the desire to be
A beautiful flower
In someone else’s garden
Planting encouraging words like seeds
