"My Garden" by Mrs. MacMillan 1968 - Part 1

Here's a little publication called "My Garden" by Mrs. MacMillan of Cornwall. She had wonderful gardens once enjoyed by so many Islanders and Visitors. Following an attempt to find more information about Mrs. MacMillan on the Internet with no success I decided to scan the publication I have and post it on this blog in four or five parts for everyone to enjoy.
Her gardens no longer exist - lost to time. See also: http://peiheritagebuildings.blogspot.com/2011/06/beechwood-gardens-ferry-rd-cornwall.html

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
