The One Garden Proud Poem by Francis Duggan

The lovers of beautiful gardens sing the praises loud
Of the beautiful garden of the one garden proud
And to those who compliment her on her garden she smile and she say
Thank you for your kindness may joy bless your day
A widow and grandmother in her early seventies the hard working old dear
Her garden is in bloom twelve months of the year
Often pruning her rose bushes she can be seen
To match her surroundings in her cardigan of green
At the presentation of the award to her with joy in her eyes
For the town's most beautiful garden she received the first prize
Seemingly uncaring of how she seems to others she never dyes her hair of gray
But to the joy of her life great attention she does pay
The beauty she creates is an amazing thing
Her garden bloom in Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.
