Nature's Children

Gardens are nature’s children
Adopted by you and me,
We dress them how we want them
And invite all our friends to see.

Nature does most of the growing
Shows us colours in an array,
So then we can choose what we like
And organise a display.

Of course it takes hard work
To grow a garden from some seeds,
And I don’t like hard work too much
So my garden’s full of weeds.

Some big ones are called parks
Where children play on slides.
And then there are the giant ones
We call them countrysides.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
