Gardening Poem by Randy McClave

I enjoy to garden in my yard
To reduce my worries and my stress,
I mark the plants with a little card
And over them I hope nature will bless.
I will dig a hole and place them in,
Then I will cover them up once again.

I maintain my garden after all is planted
Then I eagerly wait for the plants to grow,
I feel like unto my soul a power was granted
To see birth from what I did sow.
I then give them love and also care,
Life and nature is in the air.

I garden whenever that I can
As I enjoy bringing forth beauty and life,
This should be the purpose of all man
As it helps maintains sanity and releases strife.
So, into my garden with a smile I will proceed,
As I plant another flower or seed.

Into the earth I will dig a hole
And inside it I will put a seed or a plant,
Giving life and beauty is my truest goal
Then love and care for it I will chant.
I love to garden and give life all year long,
Because murder is so wrong.
