Sonnet 18/05/01                        DLIII

A perfect day for planting, with no sun
To burn life from small leaves; The promise of
Water to sustain new growth. Here's one
Of Nature's subtle gifts, to show her love.
You plant sweet herbs for future use, and weed
Unwanted growth, but know a use for all
The garden grows. Four senses gardens feed,
And birds, who nourish fifth with evening call.
The breeze brings cool contentment, as the day
Slides into night. You have the future sown.
In time, all that you plant will grow, to pay,
With interest, labor done by harvest grown.
With laughter in eyes, and smile touching cheek,
You have in your garden all I might seek.
