Weed Your Garden

Weeds in my garden they sure like to grow.                                                                      
It's funny how they all seem to come in a row.

On Monday, the "Weeds of Depression" were so high.                                             As 
I plucked the last one I gave a big sigh.

Then Tuesday came and weeds peeked up from the ground.                                      
I pulled ones of "Stress" and soon had them piled high on the ground.

Wednesday came a rushing on thru .                                                                                 
I said "Weeds of  Grief" I'll get rid of you too !

On rolled Thursday and I wanted to sleep,                                                                       
But I pulled "Weeds of Hurt" , tho’ their roots were so deep.

As I waited slowly for Friday to come,
"Worry Weeds" I would pull with my mighty green thumb.

When Saturday came, I thought I was done,
But "Sadness Weeds" stood tall in the sun.

So glad for Sunday cause it's my day of rest,
And I know all week long I had done my very best.
