In My Life

This poem is so well structured. And it flows so well. It's just fantastic!

There are places I remember all my life
some will stay with me for evermore....
in our life a flower blooms that will never grow old, never dies....
A very rare flower ..... you are.

In my life a garden grows
Behind a faded fence
Roses bloom amidst the thorns
Bowing to the wind

right from the first stanza....this poem sets up a standard and flows thereafter. Beautiful poem dear, really loved it.

all the best and take care

Rocky ground lays bare the scars
Caressed by flooding rain
Still sweet perfume of rosebuds
Floats in the breeze again
^^^
To pick oneself up after the storms of pain wreck havoc .... knowing I will learn and grow ... I will be alright!

In my life a garden grows
Gnarled hands sowing seeds
Another Spring of promises
Flowers through the weeds
^^^
Time has seen many thorns ... life's happiness sometimes washed away ... but to come back with new growth and hope (as Spring does) .... A new beautiful love comes into our lives ... just like fresh new air whisks into our souls at Springtime.....

The depth within this poem is breath-taking Debbie ....
Your words never cease to amaze me dear poetess!
