Almedia Knight Oliver - Garden Center

There she sits in the midst of my garden
beneath the roses and poses;
delighting in the daffodils like those on the hill.

The sun opened four eyes-
colorful tulips and her brown eyes

The sun just opened before my eyes.
Oh my, what a chore to reach the core!
Look at her hoeing and weeding,
flinging sweat from her brow;
to behold the beauty within.

Just clear the “stuff”-
hurts and pains;
blames and shames;
cruses and lies;
chameleonic righteous
and their exaggerated colors!

Destroy the lies, then
bury them in a sand hole.
only in her rich garden flowers grow
look at how she takes great pleasure
in tending her garden and share
the fruits of her labor.
