A Garden Says Thank You Like This!

A garden can’t talk

Not verbally like humans do.

But it speaks,

In silent, sacred ways.

It shows love.

It offers thank you.

Let me show you how —

A bunch of flowers

You can pick

On a fresh morning

To inhale their fragrance

And decorate your home.

Colorful butterflies

Stop by to enchant.

Birds visit

To sing melodies.

You can harvest

Some vegetables and greens

All year round.

Not only for yourself —

But to share the surplus.

We know the joy

Of sharing our bounty.

The little kids

Can have a safe sanctuary

To play and dream.

And this is just a glimpse —

The garden is much more.

A friend, a guide,

A temple, a gym,

A heaven on Earth.

Create one for yourself,

If you haven’t already.

Anyway, that’s how a garden

Says thank you

Without speaking a word.
