"A garden is a friend you can visit anytime"
"I garden, therefore I am"
I have one in my garden, it reads " I fought the weeds and the weeds won!!!"
When I was very young about 11 or 12 I found this poem in one of my sunday school papers. It is still one of my favorites.
The Critic
A little seed lay on the ground, and soon began to sprout;
Now which of all the flowers around, "it mused,"shall I com out?'
The Lily's face is fair and proud, but just a trifle cold;
The Rose, I think is rather loud, and then it's fashions old.
The Violet is all very well, but not a flower I'd choose; - not yet the Canterbury Bell - I never cared for the blues.
And so it criticized each flower, this supercilious seed, until it woke on summer morn - and found itself a weed.
Author unknown
One of my favorite ( it really is part of a poem ) is the well known poem by Dorothy Frances Gurney
The kiss of the sun for pardon
The song of the bird for mirth
One is nearer God's heart in the garden
Than anywhere else on earth.
