From the recording Mother's Peace Garden
A gentle, Alt Country reflection on memory, devotion, and the roots that keep us grounded and a tribute to a life spent cultivating peace.
Lyrics
A mother’s own creation story
Blooming in the morning glory
Seeds of love soon to grow
Best to till, then to hoe
Up at dawn in garden gloves
Gardening a mother’s love
Tending to the peace garden
Gathering the inspiration
Up at dawn in garden gloves
She would make a peace dove
Les Mis so dear to her heart
She gave those children each a part
Happy days to be her son
In community with everyone
A memory I’ll not regret
And one she never can forget
Tending to the peace garden
Remembering how she was then
Up at dawn in garden gloves
She would make a peace dove
Tell the tales you like to share
Of all the circles planned with care
A butterfly with social grace
And vibrant host at any place
A mother’s love to soothe each soul
Extended from the family role
Tending to the peace garden
Remembering how she was then
Up at dawn in garden gloves
She would make a peace dove
