Friendship Poem

Life is a garden,
good friends are the flowers,
and times spent together
life's happiest hours....
and friendship, like flowers
blooms evermore fair
when carefully tended
by dear friends who care.

The Garden House Creed

The Garden House is a gathering place in support of women.
We recognize our common ground is caring and sharing.
We care for each other by listening and accepting,
and realize gentle support is possible only
when we are not judgmental.

We share life's fine moments with each other,
rendering applause for accomplishments,
and encouragement when facing obstacles.

We accept and welcome the fact that we come in different shapes, sizes, and colors.
We accept and embrace the fact that we are in different stages during the journey of life,
and that each season of life brings with it new challenges and joys.
We realize that we may bring different beliefs and languages into our melting pot.
We contribute to world peace by starting with ourselves,
by accepting and embracing our differences,
rather than let differences divide us.

Friendships are born in this lovely garden by supporting each other,
listening to each other, praying for each other, writing to each other,
holding each other close.

We know in our hearts that we all have the potential
to make a difference on the Internet as we continue to build on
"The House That Love Built".

The Garden House Creed was authored by the
Garden Keepers.
