Down Where the Pear Blossoms White

Down where the willow trees blossom
And the pear blooms white as cotton
An old man works summer's garden
Though worn out from years of hard work

And the pear blooms white as cotton
Touched by God's grace and sweet kindness
Though worn out from years of hard work
There'll be a pear crop come autumn

Touched by God's grace and sweet kindness
An old man works summer's garden
There'll be a pear crop come autumn
Down where the willow tree blossoms

Dear Sara, your beautiful Pantoum made me think of the white blossoms that came each spring on my Bradford Pear trees. How true that tit takes not only hard work, but also a gift of God's grace to make the garden grow well. Your poem is an awesome entry for Rachel's contest and I wish you success! Love, carolyn
