Each flower a symbol of life; a metaphor for the journey of self-discovery As the sun rises on a new day, the shadow awakes to a new shade of color above The sweet nectar of its protector spreading its wings in a tapestry of color and spectacle
Today, a chorus of roses, lilies, tulips, and daffodils with sing chants accompanied by harps and music from the clouds above. It is a theater of nature’s most talented creations.
Giving life to the ground once cold and frigid Now, the flowers extend their hand in harmony and wrap themselves around each other in a warm embrace as love is defined for another season
As the cold winter packed its bags and departed, not to look back, the young offspring peaked above the shelter of the soil and slowly began to reach for the heavens and bless us with the smell of fragrant beauty
Now the journey has reached its pinnacle Spring is here and the ambassadors have manned their posts Observers to love; supporting players in the creation of memories
With each new kiss, a flower smiles It is pure; it is magical; it is the virtual of the balance of life
Basking in the vehemence of the sun, this garden is a foundation of the truth in existence It reinforces the meaning of life and gives explanation when doubt has clouded the mind
With each smell, a new flow of energy enters the body and rejuvenates
Alone a flower is fragile Together, in a garden, it has the strength to overcome mountains
Now as I sit on this bench, an invited guest to the magical transformation of Earth’s wonders I close my eyes and let my senses take over as the sun warms my soul and the flowers caress me with nature’s perfume

City of Charleston 2020 Employee of the Year. The city of Charleston is proud to recognize Master Police Officer Sally Pranger, the city’s Employee of the Year for 2020, for her selfless actions to help a family in need.
After responding to a shooting at a Savannah Highway motel, Pranger came into contact with a mother and her three children who were guests of the motel. Because they had been staying with the victim, their room was being treated as a crime scene and access to their food and belongings was blocked.
When MPO Pranger arrived, she began to comfort the inconsolable infant and noticed the other children weren’t wearing shoes. Realizing that the outdoor temperature was dropping, MPO Pranger drove from the scene to a local Walmart, where she purchased slippers for the children, blankets, toys, diapers and formula for the baby.
Of her remarkable act of kindness, Pranger said, “I saw the children needed help and I hope someone would do the same for my child.”
Please join us in congratulating MPO Pranger on this well-deserved honor, and in thanking her for all she does to serve and protect the Charleston community.
