Thank you, thank you so much.
It really is a great honour to have my little "prayer" selected as the winner ahead of so many great entries.
All the very best

This is a nice use of personification in each line to describe a perfect day for a garden. These are all things that will make the flowers and other growing things thrive. Nice artwrok.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Simple, beautiful, warm, gracious and uplifting. I'll have to incorporate this--aloud--at the end of my daily watering ritual. So far this summer, they're doing well, my gardens, but a little perfect prayer like this one can only help that continue!! xo

Thanks, Rachael, I can just imagine you reciting this poem with an added rain dance for good measure. Your garden would surely be blooming from sea to shining sea. Lol

Comment from Susan Newell
Hello my friend,
This is so beautifully written and can be expanded to a metaphor for al life. I particularly loved tour verb choices (hold, kiss, bathe, waltz). Imagine if we treated all life with such affection.

You're welcome. Oops. Just noticed you're missing an apostrophe in your title. ==> Gardener's
Comment from Erika Seshadri
I really love this. It's simple, yet the structure is greatly appealing, and the sentiment can have a double meaning.
Beautifully done.
Have a lovely day,
Erika

Hello Lordinajamjar, What a beautiful, tender gardener's prayer. Your prayer shows your love for the flowers and seeds that God has begifted to us . In 20 syllables, your poems speaks volumes. Well Done. LateBloomer
