MY HOME by ALMA TATUM GARNER

First Line: THIS IS MY HOME IN THE GROVE
Last Line: AND HERE FOUND SANCTUARY.
Subject(s): GROWTH;
This is my home in the grove
Of live oak and white and the golden hickory.
Of maple and elm with low hanging branches.
Here I have lived my moment
And here found sanctuary.

This is the temple in the wood,
On its altars the wild spider lily
Burns incense and sends it heavenward.
Here I have lived my moment
And here found sanctuary.
