The Garden Gift

I never wanted loud gifts,

but something that feeds my soul.

So, I had told my spouse,

save every penny

and help me get a space,

I want to grow plants,

to harvest herbs, to share surplus,

to see bee and birds.

Please, take this seriously.

I don’t need other gifts.

It was a long wait

in costly times, with little savings.

But it came.

And see what I made,

Just like I had dreamed!

Flowers bloom year-round,

pollinators come,

birds hold concerts,

my kids giggle,

as they ride circles.

I sip my tea peacefully

and draft my thoughts.

It’s a mighty gift

I am thankful for,

every single day.
