Leah Weinhardt 
Gloria’S Garden 

The sun, the stars, and the moon, we all share.
But what separate us are the land, water, and air.
Jealousy and pride create a divide.
And then one can find oneself taking a side.
What can cross boundaries? The love from our hearts!
Love can leap fences and help us take part.
But the best place to grow is to grow where we are.
That growth will someday help us to reach our very own star.
From a little wild rose plant, there is something worth learning.
Grow where youre planted, dont waste your time yearning.
