She told me that she dreamed of owning a garden  again and the tenderness of her words struck home and went to my heart. A villanelle. Picture copy write Peter Turner.(petertee)


I Will Give You A Garden by M.A.Meddings

Yet on days like this I will bring you flowers
That elicit your beautiful smile
But within this love  I will give you a garden

This promise is mine to see you shine
In your check shirt and your dreams
Yet on days like this I will bring you flowers

I will bring you wishes deep in your heart
With  all your memories nestling there 
But within this love I will give you a garden

I will give you a garden where pretty flowers grow
For the peace of our years in this afterglow
Yet on days like this I will bring you flowers

On days like this I will see you care
Amongst the Lupins and Hollyhocks there
But within this love I will give you a garden

And I will dream of coming home to you
In late summer afternoons laced with reverie
Yet on days like this I will bring you flowers
But within this love I will give you a garden

On my sweet darling you paint me such masterpieces of love with your words that send me soaring into eternal realms of joy. I am in awe of this beautiful Villanelle. I am blessed again and again by your love. I love you Michael. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyb
