The Wisdom Of A Garden

Garden Poem of the Day

Easter Garden
By Louise Driscoll

You may bring your care to a garden, 
You may bring your grief, 
The garden knows the touch of frost, 
And the falling leaf.

The garden knows the beating wind 
And the bitter rain. 
You may come to a garden 
With your pain.

But when you come to a garden 
You will always find 
Something that you have carried 
Is left behind.

For there is hope in a garden, 
And every garden knows 
There is a time for iris, 
An hour for the rose.

The dark green gift of cedar 
Is wise in comforting, 
And the rested dead of Winter 
Arise and bloom in Spring.

The wisdom of a garden 
Is packed in the brown seed 
That finds in the grave the color 
And perfume that it needs.
