A song for everyone that's had a Grandmother. But especially for those that shared mine.

simple & honest; hopefully thought provoking and enlightening; usually acoustic but will rock occasionally

Story behind the song
The idea for this song came from a pencil drawing by my cousin John called "Gramma's Flower Garden". It was a drawing of my Grandma's hand while she was stitching. While writing one night I realized that we were Grandma's garden.
Lyrics
Grandma's Garden words & music by Elwood McElveen, Jr. She worked hard for many years to cultivate the ground, Making sure the plants that grew could long stay around. Staying up late at night, rising early in the morn, Giving strength to all the plants to stand against the thorns. Look at Grandma's Garden now, All grown up and spreading out so proud. And even though dear Grandma, She is not around, Won't you look at Grandma's Garden now. There is no way to repay the effort she put forth, The consequences of her work will live forever more. I guess the best that I can do is to tend my garden too, Give the Love and give the Care like Grandma used to do. Look at Grandma's Garden now, All grown up and spreading out so proud. And even though dear Grandma, She is not around, Won't you look at Grandma's Garden now. From Stilson, Georgia clear across this land, To where ever you are now, And right here where I am. Look at Grandma's Garden now, All grown up and spreading out so proud. And even though dear Grandma, She is still around, Won't you look at Grandma's Garden now. *** based on "Granmma's Flower Garden" a pencil drawing by John McElveen *** ©1993 by Elwood McElveen, Jr.
