Nice tribute to your wife. The repeated 'she smiled' shows where you want the focus of the poem to be - on her happy nature. Blessed are they that have a happy wife. That she could still smile when physically tired after a long day's work, and indeed work for someone else, says a lot.

Good luck in the contest.

This was beautiful, she looks like a lovely person and gardening is such a great peaceful experience, Im sorry she is no longer with you. No errors noted in the poem.

So lovely that she was always smiling, and also that she found great satisfaction and pleasure from her gardening. This would have given pleasure to many others as well. Beautiful writing and a lovely memory of her smiling with happiness.

Hello author, a poem of love and memories. Your poem reads and flows well, and I loved your repeating line choice: And you smiled.
Smiling is a beautiful memory that you have of your wife--sorry for your loss. Well-chosen photo. A pleasure to read. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

What a lovely tribute and such a beautiful memory! The author's words
are descriptive, uplifting, kind, loving and creative. I enjoyed the
reading of these words. The artwork is lovely and compliments both
the words and theme of this poem.

When you do something that gives you pleasure. The payoff is the supreme feeling of joy that cannot be compensated by praise or money. Those who are pleased by the feel of dirt on their hands as the engage of replenishing the earth with plants. We were taken from the earth, so digging in the dirt with ungloved hand is like touching our ancestors. How cool is that?

What a lovely photo of your wife, and she had such a lovely smile. I'm so sorry she is no longer with you, but I'm sure she is still smiling down on you. This is a lovely photo and poem for this contest, and I wish you the best of luck in it. Beautiful, and a beautiful lady. :)) Sandra xx

This brought tears to my eyes. It was so intense. A great tribute to your wife. She reminded me of my late mother - always smiling, and having this winning attitude in life. She was a true gardener at heart.

Great imagery, visuals and the picture.

I loved it.
