A Morning Tear
by Peggie EngStumbled from my bed, a horrible feeling in my head
My day to start a queesy feeling in my heart
As I brewed my morning tea a pall fell over me
Tea in hand, I strolled to my garden for some comfort nature
always gives
I survey my friends, beautiful roses with fragrant faces bent
Alabaster gardenias in full glorious bloom
Still overtaken by my gloom
I know I will have to leave another garden that I have nurtured
and another love
I will leave behind a trace of myself in a yellow bloom
moisten by a morning tear

Author's Note: I will never forget natures beauty of each memorable garden
of love
