Write a short story using this quote as inspiration: “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.” ― Alfred Tennyson

Flowers, they are so beautiful. So many colors and styles to enjoy. God is so wonderful in creating and sharing his gifts. My most wonderful remembrance as a child was going to a vacant field near our home. We lived kind of in the country with few houses on our dead-end street. Close by were hills were near by to climb and a field with California Golden Poppies and Lupines. What a sight and the fregrances. To this day, I call still remember the smell of Golden Poppies when I think or see a picture of them.

I always wanted a garden, a big, backyard with wild flowers, roses, ground covers, clover, the works. I feel it has to be the closest thing to heaven. In fact, I can truly say, "If I had a flower for every time I thought of you..I could walk through my garden forever." I know my Lord knows how I feel about his creations. Thank you Father in heaven.
