Garden of Hope

I Walked into My Garden
And Weeds Were Everywhere
The Tallest Ones Were Pain and Sorrow
I Didn't Want Them There

So I Started Weeding
And I Worked Both Night and Day
They Had Grown So High
But I Couldn't Let Them Stay 

I Landscaped Everything
And Planted Rows of "Care"
But I Needed More
So I Sowed a Little "Share"

Finally it Was Ready
To Be Put to the Test
I Planted "Love and Happiness"
That Would Be the Best

Now I Survey My Garden
I Really Did Succeed
Everything Is Growing Now
That I'll Ever Need
