How to Plant Your Garden Poem

The following is the poem I used in today' class in talking about how to recognize what your heart's desires truly are...




How to Plant Your Garden

  First, you come to the garden alone,

 While the dew is still on the roses

 For the garden of your daily living,

 Plant three rows of peas:

 1. Peace of mind

 2. Peace of heart

 3. Peace of soul

 

Plant four rows of squash:

1. Squash gossip 

2. Squash indifference

 3. Squash grumbling

 4. Squash selfishness

 

Plant four rows of lettuce:

 1. Let us be faithful

 2. Let us be kind

 3. Let us be patient

 4. Let us love one another

 

No garden is without turnips:

 1. Turn up for meetings

 2. Turn up for service

 3. Turn up to help one another

 

To conclude our garden we must have thyme:

 1. Time for each other

 2. Time for family

 3. Time for friends

 Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.

 There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
