Make Me A Garden

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2018 with permission of the Author.

Help me design my garden of life
Full of iris, crocus, and lily
With daffodils that shine so bright
Like the sun of the greater deities.

Make me a path that curves around trees
Of stepping stone, wood chip, and moss

Where merely viewing its beauty
All differences one will forget.

Make me a garden like people of the world,

Contributing to the person I am
Without your prejudicial few.

A garden of only one color, it seems
Would be dull and so very alone.
I want my garden of life to be filled
With every color known.
