This
is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity!
Psalm 133: 1

My Garden
There’s a quiet place I love to go,
Where memories, like blossoms grow
And each memory is a petal sweet
That blooms forever in my retreat.
The seeds were planted long ago
Deep in the garden of my soul,
And each petal holds a special place
Reminding me of a special face.
In my garden are blossoms, Oh, so rare
And I tend to each with loving care,
For when days are dull , nights are weary
And life seems a little too dreary,
I can go and pick a lovely bouquet
From seeds planted along life’s way
Turning my world into spring
And I wouldn’t exchange it for anything.
©Lora Cox

FRIENDSHIP'S FLOWERS
Life is a garden,
good friends are the flowers.
And time spent together,
life's happiest hours;
For friendship, like flowers,
blooms ever more fair
When carefully tended
by dear friends who care;
And life's lovely garden
would be sweeter by far
If all who passed through it
were as nice as you are.
