Letter Garden
Breathe out some words
hold them in your hands,
give them to a windy day
and watch where they land.
Bury them now they rest
as deep as you can go,
water them with happy thoughts
in time they’re sure to grow.
hold them in your hands,
give them to a windy day
and watch where they land.
Bury them now they rest
as deep as you can go,
water them with happy thoughts
in time they’re sure to grow.
