With body bent,
she shuffled slowly
to the shed,
leaving the door ajar

for light in her search.
He had been the gardener
until the Lord called him Home -
now it was up to her.

Not knowing where to look,
her search seemed futile -
but, in the corner of her eye,
she spotted

the old rusted tools -
his only tools for gardening;
a three-pronged fork
and an iron-shaped tool -

both with handles.
Guessed he had used
them to plant the garden -
she'd taken no-never-mind

to them before -
didn't think she'd
ever be the gardener,
but now guessed that

was what she got for thinking.

She knew not to disturb the rust -
he'd always told her,
"the more rust, the better!"

So with tools in hand
and tears in her heart,
she set out to plant the garden
with him in mind.
