Garden Song

Here is Joe, driving into the sunset!

Hi Folks!

Here is one of my favorite songs, about tending garden and tending your life.


Garden Song
by David Mallett

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow,
All you need is a rake and hoe and a piece of fertile ground,
Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow,
Someone warm them from below when the rains come tumbling down,
Pulling weeds, gathering stone, a man is made of dreams and bone,
Feel the need to grow my own, ‘cause the time is close at hand,
Pray for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature’s chain,
Tune my body and my brain to the music from the land,
Plant your rows straight and long, temper them with prayer and song,
Mother Earth will make you strong if you give her loving care.
