"Nature's bounty overflows"

Gifts were left upon her front doorstep.Bulbs were ready to plant and bloomIn her garden, Nature's domain.Wine from vineyards near and far,bottled, ready, there someday to share.Her friend, her love, the one who knows her best,displays concern redeems their faith. Their hopes and dreams,and smiling tendernesstranscend the...
