Garden
Like a field of sunflowers
singing under the sun
your happiness is my happiness.

Like the weeping tulips
under gray skies
your sadness is my sadness.

Like the bursting red rose
in between out hands
your love is my love.

Like the blooming garden all around us,
You become me and I become you.

I am going to try to vote again. I tried to click each star individually and it got stuck on the first star.  That should be a 5 star vote not a one star vote.
