A Lesson in My Garden

I have seen many a change,

Gone to lands known and strange,

Everything has come in my way,

Love, hatred, hope and dismay.

But ages ago, I did decide,

Fate shall always test, always grind.

I let it have its way,

But, choose firmly to stay.

Come hail, come rain,

Come pleasure, come pain,

I bear all. I never run.

Instead, I wait for the Sun.

Readers, believe me when I say,

Life in me shall always stay.
