The Gardener's Oak

The Gardener’s Oak 29th Nov 2007

The gardener’s oak, to me it spoke,
in its tree-wise wisdom filled way.
It said: “Gardener’s are keepers,
of flowers and thinkers, of scents and
their seekers – yes gardeners are thinkers
and more, they make shade and
sweep the leaves from your door –
But such a thankless task, sees them nearly
a thing of the past, but the earth needs
gardeners galore; to sow seeds
and thinkers of law, and medical herbs,
and lovers of words,
of the Arts and of Sciences and soil.
See gardeners are as honey bees
collecting nectar from their trees,
to feed the soul and inspire the heart,
for this I know is a gardener’s art!”
