The inspiration for this poem comes from a recent post from Leola who is an inspiring Christian writer and photographer. Please visit her “Road Trip to Montreal” by way of the link below. I thank her so much for allowing me to match her garden photography with my poetic words.

Life sometimes motors along much too fast
Leaving us hungry for something that lasts
A journey to a big city, feeling so alone
Thinking I should have stayed at home
I am not used to being in the big city, yes
Realizing my Lord has put me to this test
The final morning arrives, thank goodness
Dreaming of any place, filled with fullness
My morning walk takes me to a hidden place
Parking itself near a stadium, comes a taste
A botanical garden erupts with vibrant color
Blossoming the landscape, like none other
Colors of every imaginable shade and hue
Beholding God’s brilliance, eternally true
My eyes capture incredible memories that last
Experiencing heavenly tranquility, what a blast
God brought me here today for a special reason
Planning to share His love, no matter the season
