In the year 2011 at the
end of August
Some of you were very
quiet and a few tears I could spot
You came here to learn, to
be taught how to read
You were then very much
like a tiny new seed
You were all in my garden
just waiting to grow
So this gardener got busy
with her rake and her hoe
I fed you the water and
let in the sun
You took in the soil, but
we had only begun
Each day as I worked in
this garden of mine
I saw you all growing so strong
and so fine
Then finally one day I
took a good look
And saw each of my flowers
reading a book
It was obvious then that you
had worked too
Soaking up all the food I
had given to you
But although you have
blossomed, you still need to grow
So I’ll pass you on now to another gardener I
know
She too has a rake and a
hoe she can use
And plenty of food from which you can choose
I hope you will keep your roots open wide
Take in all her food and
keep it inside
Yes, a gardener can work
all night and all day
But the flower must be
willing to take in each ray
So work very hard in your
garden each year
Do the best you can and
you’ll have nothing to fear
Grow strong and tall, reach up for the sun
Stay as nice as you are and have lots of fun.
