Keeper of the Flowers

Came across this lovely poem - Author Unknown

If you fall in love with a garden
You'll never again be free
If you fall in love with a garden
A slave you'll become to its needs
Raking, staking, hoeing, mowing
Sowing a succession of seeds


This tyrant your garden will claim you
And never let you go
You'll seldom have time for admiring
The wonderful things you grow
But in the cool of the evening
At the end of the day
When the last task is done
And the tools put away
Be grateful for being given
This life to pursue
GOD's work of creation
The garden entrusted to you
