The Gardener 
He who plants a little garden, 
Hoes and waters it with care, 
Finds within each seed.a jewel 
Brighter far than diamonds, rare. 
Locked within brown husks, a secret 
Dormant lies in every shell, 
Until fairy Springtime beckons 
Then with pride their bosoms swell. 
Swell unto the point of bursting 
Shackles that have held them fast, 
Over death, life now is master 
As through all the ages past. 
Searching roots and clinging tendrils 
Are a part of plan divine 
So, good neighbor, plant a garden 
And enrich your life and mine.
