I received the following poem in a Christmas card this year and wanted to share it with you.
I hope you enjoy it as I did.
A Garden For Daily Living
by Imel Timberlake and
Mary Helen Looney
Plant three rows of peas
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul
Plant four rows of squash
Squash gossip
Squash indifference
Squash grumbling
Squash selfishness
Plant four rows of lettuce
Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be happy
Lettuce really love one another
No garden should be without turnips
Turnip for service when needed
Turnip to help one another
Turnip the music and dance
To conclude our garden we must have thyme
Thyme for fun
Thyme for rest
Thyme for ourselves
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
