Poetry - Gandpa Had His Garden - Jessie Eldora Robertson

Published on 17 July 2025 at 16:53

Grandpa had his garden,

With compost and a tool shed,

He laboured quietly in the sun …

Ate cantaloupe and went to bed.

 

Grandpa had his garden,                           

When I was very young,

My interest was in swimming

And always having fun …

 

Grandpa had a garden,

The memory lingers in my mind

As I stand over my sink,

Tossing out the peelings, time after time.

 

Grandpa had his garden,

In which he took much pride …

I too have my garden,

I am thankful – a feeling I won't hide.

 

Grandpa had his garden,

He liked the hues of green …

I wonder if in Heaven now

Has a little garden now, a joy to be seen.
