MY GARDEN OF FRIENDS, by NETTIE STEPHENSON BOWEN First Line: I love my garden of friends Last Line: For the gardening is done by god. Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Seeds | ||||||||
I love my garden of friends; Every morning I view them all, And each weed is just as precious As the stately lilies tall. I love my garden of friends, And caress each lonely weed, For the hand which planted the lily Also sowed this lowly seed. I love my garden of friends, And spend many a happy hour; Each receives the same care and attention Be it a weed, or a flower. I love my garden of friends, As I walk on the soft green sod; No weeding is done in my garden For the gardening is done by God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEED LEAVES; HOMAGE TO R.
