Gardening

When we plant our gardens, we plant what we wish to grow, Like vegetables and flowers are the seeds of we sow. Then we tend to our gardens, nourishment, we feed, Because we wish to reap the good from every little seed. We do not plant in mind to destroy our garden bed. We plant to bring forth fruit of good seeds, instead. Part of our role as gardener is to watch for toxic weeds Growing to rob our garden of all that our garden needs. We do not plant our gardens with seeds that are destructive, Because we know good seeds are the only seeds productive. There would be no point at all or any valid, sane reason To grow a garden where good fruits would not come into season. As we grow our gardens we know they need sunshine and some rain; We know some hard work involves some hardships bringing pain. Yet, still we persevere through times our hope is in a drought, If our faith in God is strong enough to keep the devil out. In our hearts as well we grow a garden to represent our life And what we plant and nurture both with joy and strife, Produces fruit and flowers in our character and deeds Or our garden is a place that produces only bitter weeds. We each have a garden we must tend to, care for, cultivate. As the gardener we decide what we grow, what we propagate. We tend not others' gardens, only the garden of our own. As the gardener we're responsible for what we grow, alone. If with our garden we are lazy, with tending, negligent, Our character will reflect our lack of time and effort spent. Bitter weeds of darker traits and hate then begin to grow And our garden's beauty fades away for the pride of our ego. If we tend to and till our garden with tender loving care, Our garden will bloom vividly with lots of Love to share. Should a seed of Love land and grow in a bed filled with weeds, Perhaps, the gardener of will then see what their garden needs. So, if we choose to garden and plant seeds of Love, Tend to our garden carefully with the same fruits of, We can rest assured our garden will have worth and beauty, Which our character will reflect for keeping with our duty.
