so many plants there were gifts
she calls her yard Friendship Gargen
and tending it how her heart lifts
one gave her boxes of pansies
good thoughts and the promise of cheer
one brought her potted geraniums
to spread happiness through the year
one gave her slips, one a rooted
and sweet scented white violet
her garden is filled with glory
of friends she can never forget
so she has a name for the bright spot of blossoms
where true friendship blends
with memory, in Friendship Garden,
the summer of love never ends
