Ode to a late nurseryman

Your time is...extended.
Not the toil
not the burn
not the hunger
nor the yearn.

You may rest forever... now.
But your life's energy
Paid forward
It burns on man.

Decades of customers yards full
Spring here again this year
Buds bursting forth
YOUR HEART STILL BEATS ON MAN.
Oxygen, shelter, shade, beauty, food.

Babies will have babies that will sit in cool shade and clean air
They will grow and learn and love in, and what, you have left.
Others will pick up what you started and carry on.
You deserve heaven for this and I thank you.
