Garden Gratitude

[HopeinHim98]

Warming rays of springtime sun
Light upon the arms of one
Gripping in her hands, a hoe,
Making straight the garden row.

Falling from her hand, a seed;
Green that's waiting to be freed.
Dreams of what shall come at last
In her scenes of fancy pass.

Ere departing from the plot,
Head she bows in reverent thought;
Thanking the Almighty One
'Neath the rays of springtime sun.

With springtime gardening season here again, this poem is relatable for me. Anyone else love gardening?

I use to garden with my pup. He use to make some really good veggies. I miss spending time with him out in it.

Aww that's sweet. Did he keep you company while you worked? This morning my two youngest sisters helped me plant some lettuce.

 

[Talljake]

Oh no lol, he would point while I helped. That man didn't stop even at 83. I miss him. He was a worker. I love me so garden veggies lol. It's hard to make time for a garden these days.

with my pup

Oh I was confused I thought you meant your dog sorry! I assume you mean your dad or grandpa? That's a good memory. Yeah I get it when you have other stuff going on it can be hard.

 

[Talljake]

Haha sorry. Yeah he was my grandfather. I would have one but I'd be the only one taking care of it and I work long days so it's hard finding time.

Do you do veggies or are you talking about a flower garden?

Vegetable garden. I haven't done much flower gardening but I would like to get into that. I just LOVE having fresh food from the garden, especially things like tomatoes in the summer.

You are such a fruitful and gracious lady.

I'm on lunch break now but looking forward to this evening. I'll be working on my food forest. I hope your garden goes as well as your beautiful poetry.
