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
