Friendship is a Garden



Friendship is a garden
that blooms within the heart.
Its soil is rich and fertile
with love's presence at its start.

Watered by love, the seeds of trust
and loyalty will grow.
And sunshine from a dear friend's smile
will keep the weeds in tow.

Just as a garden must take time
to breathe, and bud, and bloom,
so too must friendship be shared
through both times of joy and gloom.

And when your garden blooms
after the years of faith and love,
you will agree your "garden"
is a gift from God above.

Carmen Cheryll Popp Goskowicz

Poetry and expression through words and music and live speaking, have always been an outlet for my joy and sadness.

My mother passed this down through me through her heritage and genes, and my father through his strong exaggerated language. I hope and pray that my love of poetic expression will be passed down as well, to my 3 beautiful children Jeremiah, Jacob and SherissaMarie. God bless you all! more…
