Fresh Earth

Mix the sand and mulch
add aeration and fertilizer
Dig a small hole drop in a seed and water
Hopefully it will grow
Into the beauty I desire
Time patience and lots of water
Makes the plants grow tall and strong

The title caught my eye. I used to do a bit of gardening, but that's been abandoned along with my writing. Reading this made me smile and remember the joy of having a green thumb. Thanks for welcoming me and for reading my poem, I'm glad I was able to stir your thoughts with my words.
