Funeral Poems For Gardeners: "PUT OUT TO SEED AGAIN"

"PUT OUT TO SEED AGAIN"

It's my turn now to be planted

Put out to seed again

While the fruits of my earthly labours

Flourish in the sun and rain

It's a wonderful day to be planted 

In rich, deep loamy soil

A natural bed, for a tired gardener's head

With green fingered hands of toil

Please plant a tree or bush for me

To celebrate a gardener's life ways

I strove to enrich the world with beauty

Over many, many gardening days
