Poetry and Sayings

Gardening

• Garden Prayer
  I plant the seed,
  You make it grow.
  You send the rain,
  I work the hoe.
  
  
• Kiss of the sun for pardon.
  Song of the birds for mirth.
  You're closer to God's heart in a garden
  Than any place on earth.
            Dorothy Frances Gurney



• I have a little garden
  I scratch it with a hoe
  I happily plant the seeds
  And happily watch them grow.
  
  
• Take some dirt, add some seeds,
  Pour on water, pull the weeds,
  Rest a minute, work for hours,
  Then wait ... and smell the flowers.



• Step into my garden
  Step in and you'll see
  A measure of peace
  And tranquility.
  
  It's the scent of the blossoms
  The buzz of the bees
  The sweet song of birds
  As they sing in the trees.
  
  The sweet scent of roses
  Their petals so new
  As they glisten and sparkle
  With the fresh morning dew.
  
  Run your toes through the grass
  Beneath a canopy of trees
  Hear the rustle of leaves
  As they blow in the breeze.
  
  Let the beauty of springtime
  Fill your soul with great peace
  Take it with you and share it
  With each one you meet.
