There’s a wonderful person in my community who’s always making great things happen. There are so many good people who give back to the community. I’m grateful for every single one of them. But there’s just something that's extra special about this particular person. She’s the kind of person who can “move mountains.” She contributes to good causes and projects in big ways. Always humble and unassuming about what she does, much of the time she does her work anonymously. Everything that she's had a hand in has been instrumental in making new and positive things happen. Bless her gracious, good soul and her dynamic, creative spirit. May every community be blessed to have someone like her working in their best interests.
FOREVER THE GARDENER
She tends the garden daily.
She tends it lovingly, as we all know.
Nurturing and growing are among her strongest suits.
That every single seed she sows is certain to blossom and grow
healthy and glowing, ripe with goodness is her main pursuit.
She’s happiest in the garden,
Dirt on her hands, dirt in the tiller.
All this sowing and growing truly becomes her.
She puts a bit of herself into every single seed she sows.
It unearths all the goodness inside her.
As her inner beauty graciously grows,
Her outer beauty also glows.
Our Gardener nurtures the chrysalis
of good ideas, ensuring they all get their wings.
Quietly she strives to create such wonderful things.
Just as the humble earthworm continues creating fertile soils...
laying the groundwork below the surface, every day she tirelessly toils.
She gives people, places and projects every opportunity to blossom and grow
as strong and healthy and glorious as her lovingly tended sunflowers rise up and glow.
Much like her nurtured sunflowers,
she's quietly regal. Golden and glowing,
ripe with the potential of every seed of her ideas.
Buds and chrysalis of her creativity are continual and flowing.
Each holds the promise of taking wing and blossoming in future years.
All who've watched her sow the seeds are hopeful.
All who've watched her toil in the gardens are grateful.
All who've reaped the bountiful harvests of what she has begun
acknowledge the hard work and finesse in everything she's done.
We're grateful she sows so many seeds and grateful for her dedication.
We bestow upon our gracious, glowing Gardener our love, respect and admiration.
