Martha's Garden

Martha had no visitors
to share her garden with
the flowers lovingly planted
and tended with such care
gave her comfort in solitude

Martha's children seemed
to call less and less, far away
they didn't visit either

Another spring,
another year,
flowers in bloom

Martha shared her garden
with a stray cat that visited
everyday they'd chat
exchanging stories

This fancy feline friend
got a new name each day
in Martha's garden
they'd while the time away
