Garden

- Hailey Whitehurst (California, USA)

My own personal garden

Swelling with flowers and life and branches

Spangled across every surface, color

It’s beautiful

but how truly beautiful can something be without someone to share it with

No matter how sweet the blossoms smell

No matter how soft the grass

No matter how brightly the sun shines and dips through the leaves of the trees Nothing is as beautiful

As it is when i’m with you

You hold me and I feel like my garden

Safe and blooming and beautiful.

And filled with butterflies.
