      Chapter 1:

      Seeds Planted

      Grandma’s Garden

      My Grandma’s garden

      Is my happy place.

      She nurtures it

      And cares for it

      Just as she cares for

      Each of us.

      The flowers thrive

      And grow,

      Reaching to the

      Light, bathing

      In her love and

      Uplifting spirit.

      Finding Joy

      Where did Joy go?

      Did she run away?

      Has she escaped from our grasp

      So that we understand

      We do not deserve her?

      Has she decided to

      Leave the hearts of

      Everyone who claimed her

      As their own?

      I’m on a quest

      To find Joy.

      Although I’ve only met her

      A few odd times,

      I miss her dearly,

      And wish to welcome

      Her home.

      True Love vs. New Love

      How do you tell

      The difference between

      True love
