Garden of Light

For My Mother

The light from the candle burns brightly
As it stands at the center of the table,
Covered with blood red petals
I gently lay a single rose beside it
And as I sit back and rest my body
Upon your favorite chair
I step back, for a brief moment in time,
I remember how excited you were
To watch the roses in bloom
And how thrilled you used to be
To watch the grass grow so high,
Your garden was your safe haven
The one place you always loved to be,
At this place you found quiet and peace
A place where you could just be...
Now your garden is your gift to me from you
And because I know this was your haven,
I cherish the memory of you
At this place so full of peace and light,
It has now become my special place to be
