Leaving My Gardens
She offered me extensive use of her private garden
This was a very fine arrangement for me at the time
With vigor, I plowed and sewed my seeds in her lush Eden
Tilling through the afternoon until evening church chime
As months past, and I began to master over her plot
I began to wander in copious other fertile lanes
Soon, after much exploration, I found a fresh new lot
So, I cleaned and packed my plow for my newly acquired gain
While busily cultivating my new found lovely toy
I was notified my prior effort had begun to bloom
It quickly produced a grand specimen of precious joy
Unfortunately, this produced an urge in me to zoom
While quietly heading out of town early one morning
Leaving my gardens gave me a profound sense of mourning
