Lyrics
Sonnet of the Good Gard'ner
by Tammy Jann
© 2016
A gard'ner knows a flower from a weed
who plants his heart and gathers what he's grown
grows ev'ry color in the grass so green
the beauty there is where he calls his home
rises with the sun and toils in the rain
out in the elements 'till the day's done
working hard sowing, digging every day
feeds his soul in the garden that he loves
But the winds can change and clouds darken the sky
his light is gone, and dreams slip through his hands
poisoned land suffers flowers slowly die
return, the earth awaits your love again
Please Come back, hope will grow with just one seed
Good gard'ner plant the flowers your heart needs
