Grandma's Legacy

My grandma had a green thumb She loved to garden, plant and grow Didn't matter where they're from Snatching cuttings wherever she'd go Her pockets filled with seeds from trips to and fro Labeling the envelops with names as she was home Plant variety was something she would know She also knew specific times when seeds should be sown Her garden was her solace throughout her hardened life She planted seeds and grew her plants anywhere she stay Always fed her family through depression and strife Many rows of vegetables were planted in her day Years have passed and she is gone her love of planting seeds Was passed on through her family who now are pulling weeds.
