In the Garden of Our Love
In the garden of our love
is a place solely our own
where flowers grace the arbors
on the framework of our home
~
In the garden of our love
we tend each others needs
where joy embraces passion
in the framework of our peace
~
In the garden of our love
is a gate securely locked
where only we may attend
in the framework of our thoughts.

My lover has gone down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to browse in the gardens and to gather lilies.
I am my lover’s and my lover is mine;
Song of Songs 6:2-3 NIV

Blessings on your weekend ~ Wendy
Hello Wendy, I really love this whole idea of tending each other’s needs, as in a garden, and tried to read the whole piece, but a blank came up – even when I clicked on the title of the post under “recent posts”. Can you suggest a way I could see it? Diane dianemtaylor.com
Diane, thank you for letting me know about this. I’ve been having some troubles with the new site–which is why I’m keeping my old reliable one going too. It seems to be working now. Here’s the link:

Let me know if it works for you now. I’m seriously wondering if I should scrap the new site? Blessings on your weekend. <3
I love the way you used the garden to express the those aspects of a good marriage that are found in no other relationships.
Thank you, Theresa. I know you love gardens too–and the Creator of the first one. <3
A beautiful garden well tended…how much a marriage will blossom from the same care. Beautiful post Wendy
Thank you, Susan. <3 Yes, tender care makes love blossom.
