… A Garden …

A small plot of earth was chosen to claim, 
To create our garden was the ultimate aim.
Today we walk amongst its beauty and charm,
Our patch of heaven has grown to be shared. 
It's still in the working as most gardens are,
Come along and meet us - there is a garden in us all. 

Deborah and Trevor Lindenberg.
