Gifts of the Garden
Enormous joy derives from honest toil
while working with one's hands in garden soil
to cultivate in harmony with land
and get away from all that social roil.

We're planting food and flower gardens grand
and harvesting tomatoes to be canned
beside a bed of blushing peonies,
protecting earth like Mother Nature planned.

The melody of buzzing honey bees
in search of food among the cherry trees
and salty perspiration soon reveal
the Heaven sent delights we try to seize.

When work day is finally done, we kneel
to help a badly jaded spirit heal
with tender golden corn on cob to boil
when Mama cooks our special Sunday meal.
