The Secret Garden

I know of a garden, you might know one too,

It hides a big secret, as all gardens do.

There's magic in this place, and wonders to be found.

Creatures pass through it, with barely a sound.

They don't say too much, they're busy you see,

They're not in the garden to entertain me.

To each flower they fly, in a blinding zoom,

They're making sure, each plant will bloom.

Some inch along, wearing fabulous fur,

They must eat a lot, so transformation can occur.

Others lay out traps, and then run to hide,

Only when it rains can you see the gems inside.

At the end of every day there shines a special light,

Made of all different colours, so beautiful and bright.

That's the secret of a garden, tell others if you dare,

Understand that if you do, they will want to join you there.

A Mysterious Life

Life is mysterious.

It's not straight and easy to navigate.

It's not easy to see all,

or know all.

It's full of curious characters.

Some are obvious,

while others are hidden,

 to be discovered along the way.

There are many bends in the road.

Part of life is clear and right in front of you

but who knows what lies ahead.

And that's what makes it interesting.

There are shocks and surprises

as we battle danger and adversity.

There is friendship and love

in the connections we make along the way.

We build on what we learn.

Life is fragile and precious

and that's what makes it valuable.

Cherish each moment.
