Today I came across this poem given to me several months ago by a dear friend.
I thought I'd pass it on for you to enjoy too:
For the garden of your daily living, 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 patient
Lettuce love one another
No garden is without Turnips:
Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another
To conclude our garden we must have Thyme:
Thyme for each other
Thyme for family
Thyme for friends
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
