LIFE'S WORTH

If you wish to give life worth
Make it now your fervent goal
To listen to the garden earth
Speaking to your mortal soul.

Listen to what it has to say
Of how in time all things must pass
Into tomorrow from today
As does the garden into grass

For when the gardener's not around
With rake and spade and hoe
To place within the garden's ground
The garden dies as weeds do grow.

The garden ceases then its bloom
And soon is replaced by weed
For it is the garden's doom
With no one there to plant the seed.

So be the one who sows the seed
Within the garden's earth
And the one who hoes the weed
To gain a life of untold worth.
