THE GARDENER

I call my friend the Gardener

For many reasons.

Reasons that start to coil around me,

Enveloping me,

Making me feel secure.

The Gardener has been there

Since I was a seed.

Helping water me with love,

Protecting me from the weeds in my life.

All of my best friends are gardeners.

I consider myself a gardener, too,

By helping my friends grow,

By caring for them,

And weeding out their troubles.

Everyone can be a gardener by

     tending to their friends.

As they grow in life, you will

    also grow.

Ex. I have a friend who's just like a mirror... she reflects back my best qualities, and she never lies.^^
