ManuscriptsMy Grandfather's GardenI think a lot about the garden that my grandfather kept alwaysFull of green beans, cabbage, tomatoes, and okrawhich was only for me because no one else ate it including Grandpa I thinkand I know now that this is what is important, notDrinking, and unhappiness, and the illness which finally took himBut rather that garden from which came the okra that my Grandfather grew for me andIt makes me smile to understand that everything that was good and loving in himHe did share with us through his garden.Marshelle Dawkins24Fall 1995Fani Anagnostou25ManuscriptsFani Anagnostou26
