When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?

A Walk In My Garden
ePub
A4
O, come stroll in my beauty,
Sniff the fragrance of my air,
Come pause at my fountain,
Enjoy all without care.
Peer into my gazer,
Mirrored images so bright:
My purpleleaf plum tree,
Even roses at night.
See the cross on Mount Helix,
The Lagunas afar,
Hear the whir of my hummingbird
Greeting morning's last star.
Linger 'neath my tall willow,
Showing grace in her style,
Drink deep of the moment,
No matter the while.
Then visit Fat Buddha
To offer a prayer
Giving thanks in enchantment
Of life everywhere.
'Cause a walk in my garden,
'Tis said and 'tis true ,
Refreshes the soul
For God walks here, too.
