Author’s Note: Gardenia’s are my most favored of all flowers. Picture courtesy of Wikipedia
Purest scent so subtle so sweet no other holds your secret redolence A fragile bud that loves sunny treats it shies away from wintery streets
Memories of childhood days when Florida was wonderfully tropical Palm Trees swayed while we played Gardenia’s perfume surrounding the glade
Bringer of peace and tranquility bearer of true love and affection Gardenia with your white so bright no evil can penetrate no ghostly light
Blissful is the fragrance you carry a guiding halo for the spiritually weary Symbol of goodwill throughout history a joyful reminder of nature’s mystery

I have a very special friend, quite uncommon and hard to get. Though she is mine and I hers, a regular pet she will never be.
When she was small and oh so cute, not one person even had a clue. No idea of what she would become, when in time an adult she’d be.
She called to me before she was born, a dream-vision I had just before morn. In that time of waking sleepiness, when the rest of the world still rests.
The vision of her was crystal clear, she stayed close by me, always near. Walking together on a sandy beach, always within each other’s reach.
I started searching that very day, I feared she might be too far away. Two years went by without any luck, I nearly gave up in truth I was stuck.
Upon my back I had her drawn, the ink applied it took until dawn. It was after that I received a call, Wolf-pups conceived that very Fall.
In the Spring of that following year, she came to me grinning ear to ear. It took work and determination, for both to form a solid foundation.
Nine years ago my life was brightened, and for some she is quite frightening. A truer friend there’ll never be, she is mine and I am hers for all eternity.
