Childhood memories on grandfather have been nicely executed in this poem. I cite..... My grandfather earnestly Transferred wild ones To more suitable beds Attached rods on them And mixed with the good ones. This is really a beautiful poem and it attracts the reader to read over and over again for which I made it second visit.

Beautiful childhood reminiscences.. of a loving grandfather- a true son of the soil who knew the art of tending his crops! I am sure he must have been a hardworking man and you too inherited from him a love for the soil and farming! Such sweet memories of our dear ones, dead and gone will be stashed away in the deep recesses of our mind to be taken out and refreshed from time to time! (10)

I too grew up on a farm learning how to survive off the land. It is still in my blood today. Thank you Rose.

Hi Rose Marie, Very nostalgic poem, but very poignant too. Describes hot the love for nature was inculcated in the little girl, without she ever noticing it. Just remembered my own childhood, when we would “work” in the field with our parents, and of course, other workers which we enjoyed to the core. And when the plants tended by us yield fruits, it gives us immense pleasure Or, when a shrub of Rose planted by us bears a flower! , , , , , ,

Grandfather's teaching for doing till was really amazing and valuable. This helped you a lot to nourish. Observing life from sunrise to sunset was really very interesting. This poem is beautifully penned in memory of grandfather and this is a nice tribute to him...10
