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.
