Tulips in the Garden

September 21, 2005 by cindy wright

Today I was looking out the window

I saw your tulips all wilted and withered

I knew how they felt oh so well

You’re with God in heaven and I try not to be bitter.

But it’s oh so hard…… after twenty years

Waking with you by my side

And now I wake and you’re no longer here

When will my eyes dry from tears?

Today I looked out the window

Your Tulips looked so wilted and withered

Then a rainbow appeared right above them

And I knew it was you saying cheer up

I’m still here I didn’t go

So outside into the sunshine I went

To your little Tulip patch

With garden hose in hand

I watered and picked weeds until the day was spent

Tomorrow I know will be brighter

And my heart may be a little lighter

Because even though I can’t touch you dear

You’re still in my heart and all around

Springing forth in my memories

Like the Tulips you planted…. and left for me here.
