Life in the garden



Everything I need to know
I learned in the garden.
Patience, perseverance, hope.
Water deep, nourish, hoe.

Plant the seed, wait,
Wait longer
Nourish hope, Keep adding
Water.

Keep out rabbits, keep out pests.
Protect the seedlings,
Put up fence!

Too much sun burns tender sprouts.
Too much wind can dry them out.

Then one day the world turns green.
Plants grow stronger—vines,stems and
Leaves.

Ground that’s planted keeps out weeds.
With some help gained on my knees!
