Green thumbs

Baby's got a green thumb
Some how I just know it
Yes somehow she'll become
Just like her ancestors before her
Caring for the greenery: I see Evaleah
Loving to work amid the scenery
Planting her garden just like her Tatas!
Growing everything that God gave us
Her herbal lore might just save us
Who knows what God has planned?
As long as she can be outside
Enjoying all the pleasant sunshine
Growing up and loving life 
Living her blessed life to the full!

Nana Evelyn loved watering her plants
Hose in hand she was in heaven too
Sprinkling that water everywhere : I'm telling you!
At Dover Street she made her own little oasis
There was but dirt and dust to start 
But she worked hard: she called forth growth
Brought plants from everywhere: planted, gave care
A veritable jungle she created for Vanessa and Shelley
They loved to play there in that peaceful garden! 

Tata Manuel has always grown his own
Everything: from fruit trees to herbs and veggies
Santiago and Zecarias love running around
In his beautiful garden: enjoying everything!

Vanessa is outside right now: in her element
Gardening! Weeding and moving plants
Happy to get her hands a little bit dirty
Loving the feel of it: enjoying just a bit
Call it therapy: call it relaxation: whatever?
As long as it's a hit: yes, she's loving it
Just like her daddy did: yes just like her daddy did!
When he was here on this earth: not so long ago!

Grandpa was always working on his fruit block
Yes my dad grew up on a farm: that was his charm!
He had green thumbs too! Loved to keep his trees
Well-fed and fertilised, weeded and moisturised
He grew everything for us: we had almonds and walnuts
Apricots and peaches, oranges and lemons
Mandarins and grapefruit, figs and plums
Even a plumkin tree: what's that you ask?
A mighty plum tree: growing by the house
A few pumpkins grew up into the branches
My dad called it his Plumpkin tree! Amazing!
