A
Blessing
Willingly
we share
the same garden
of friendship
where flowers and weeds grow.
Paul Callus is a Maltese
author who writes both in Maltese and English. He has contributed to several
anthologies. Apart from poetry he writes lyrics for songs and has published two
books, one a story book aimed at children (related to his experience as a
teacher) and a historical book based on research.
Thanks, Paul, this is artful imagery, inviting the reader to substitute her own seeds of growing things in such a garden, where everyone can have a green thumb...
