About the Book
See the birds and bees, flowers and weeds, and different people who make up God's Flower Garden as seen through the eyes of the poet, for the beauty of God's Flower Garden is not only the flowers God created, but also the different people He created.
Experience the frustration of being kept waiting for a scheduled appointment, the sadness of putting a pet to sleep, the humorous aspect of a surgery not mentioned in polite society, and other common events in life, all described in verse and rhyme. These events all take place in a part of God's Flower Garden.
Poems on Christmas, comfort, mercy, a prayer for forgiveness, and others bring to mind the serious side of life in God's Flower Garden.
To cover all of God's Flower Garden, one must remember the mountains, rivers, trees, national parks, etc., for He created them all. Experience the beauty of the Smoky Mountains, a pilgrimage to the colonial south, and other trips/outings as described by the author. God's Flower Garden would not be complete without mentioning friends and family, which the author has done by including poems written for them on their birthdays.
