Hannah in Her Garden

Both Gram and her good friend, Hannah, are gone now. I like to imagine them gardening in Heaven ~ making everything beautiful, lush and green.

Hannah’s in Her Garden


Hannah’s in her garden

With trowel in her hand

She makes the buds and blossoms grow

Just the way she planned.

Hear her tuneful whistle

Come drifting through the trees.

Her cap pulled low, she’s digging,

And down upon her knees.

Sunshine on her shoulders,

She loves the feel of sod;

The honey-bees and bird song

Reminding her of God.

Talking to her flowers,

Her hands amidst their roots

So gentle in their delving

Among their greening shoots.

Underneath the blue sky

She smells the pine and herb

And feels the sense of wonder

That nothing can disturb.

Hannah’s in her garden

And everything I fine,

When Hannah’s in her garden

And I’m in mine.
