Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of an old working in his vegetable garden

 

This is not a picture of whom I am writing but the garden looks similar. 

An Old Man Works Summer's Garden

Down where the willow trees blossoms 
And the pear blooms white as snow
Old man works a garden that is awesome
He's worn out from years of work that was gusto
 
And the pear blooms white as snow
Touched by God's sweet kindness and grace
He's worn out from years of work that was gusto
There'll be a pear crop in this place

Touched by God's sweet kindness and grace
Old man works a garden that is awesome
There'll be a pear crop in this place
Down where the willow tree blossoms

Being a country girl, I can relate to all of these wonderful poems, and it is if you were looking out from my own yard! And yes....this country gardener has runny eyes and nose, but you can't keep me indoors!! Love all three poems, Sara!
