My Garden
What got into me I do not know
kneeling in the dirt seeds to sow
I'll plant a garden and watch it grow
I'd forgotten the pain from having to hoe
Those darn weeds so quickly sprout
I bend and strain to pull them out
The heat of sun causing near drought
I water and water so my plants grow stout
What got into my head to take on this task
What were you thinking my sore body asks
Bushes and vines growing hearty as they mature
I'll have plenty to share of that I'm sure
Smiling to myself with some pride in what I see
This plot of earth bringing forth such beautiful bounty
