Analysis of In Your Garden”

“In Your Garden”

I planted my heart in your garden
and looked on as young leaves grew
At their bend and by their pardon,
fragrant flowers blossomed too

My tree stands tall; her roots lie deep
her graceful body knowing
Your fertile earth, your faithful care-
the reasons for her growing

I found a place my heart could stay
warm, loved, and protected
Where she’d flourish day by day
-and no one would suspect it

I planted my heart in your garden-
turned, and journeyed on
I knew you would take care of her
long after I was gone…

I knew she would take care of you,
grateful for your tending
Rendering sweet scent and shade,
devotion never ending
