I’ve been thinking of the legacy of a garden
A bequeathing to the future
In essence you are always leaving a garden, as a metaphor
You are constantly shaping everything
And watering and pruning
You are only meant for making beauty
Nourishing the right places
But don’t forget
A garden is for right now
You’re shaping it
You’re changing it
You’re effecting it
For your benefit

This poem forges beyond the garden into the creation of our own world – “You are constantly shaping everything” – truly yes! You have shaped and made the beauty of this poem – Well done!
Thank you so much for seeing that!
