2002 Poetry The earth is fertile when we plant our seed
Just like our life, which we hope will succeed
We want our garden, lush, green and alive
The same as our family, which we hope will thrive
Plant life grows when it's nurtured just right
A lot like our children, our life's delight
For both will grow strong if we do our job well
Right down to and including their very last cell
It takes hard work to make our garden bloom
Our family no less, and we shouldn't presume
To give less effort is not the task we share
Cause it takes all to provide for their need and care
Our gardens grow beautiful over the years
Which makes us proud and swell up with tears
For if we do it right we truly feel good
Knowing that we did all that we could
