between these fenced gates
my garden grows lush and sweet
here is my retreat
far from man's despair
green foliage leafy and tall
covers my retreat
speckled pattern shade
cools the hot sun of mid day
secret my retreat
riotous flowers
in colors of rainbows grow
pink blue violet red
here lies in my love
rest he now beneath rich earth
never more to rise
ti's sweet my retreat
for his shadow walks with me
spirit love my dear
