In The Garden Of My Heart Poem by Arti Chopra

in the garden of the heart are many plants,
my favourite plant is called hope,
the most difficult to grow and care for
but it is that, which helps you to cope

if it dies.... I would be forlorn
so many times it has withered and nearly gone
when the weather has become dry or bad
or when all is going wrong, or when I am sad

but I have persevered, and nourished and kept on,
never thinking that it has withered and gone,
I have guarded it closely and well.....
knowing, in my house it will always dwell.

and it has continued to beautify my home
like sunlight streaming through a gilded dome
acompanied by rays faith and love,
for the one, who watches from above


and I know, my plant will never die
it will continue to always beautify
the garden of my house, my heart
it is the secret of life, a hopeful heart.
