Although her arms are broken
And her feet are crumbling fast,
The little garden goddess
Seems to last and last.
 
In every growing season,
Whether summer or in spring,
The little garden goddess
Doesn’t miss a thing.
 
She sees the roses blooming
And a hungry little bird;
She sees tomato hornworms,
Though her eyes are blurred.
 
She keeps watch every morning,
Every midday, every night—
The little garden goddess
Makes sure all’s just right.

    Lovely words to accompany such a beautiful statue who has, no doubt, witnessed the best and worst of things in this world.

    Lovely words to accompany a beautiful statue who has, no doubt, sat silently bearing witness to the good and the bad of many things, for many years.
