Planting Your Spring Garden

Planting Your Spring Garden

March 15, 2022 by Liz

Planting your Spring Garden is a catchy title for a poem, and caught my attention! Spring is just around the corner and the following poem came across my social media today (from Australia) and it “hit the spot”. I decided to share this on my blog as it is thought provoking and hopefully uplifting. 
The credit for writing the poem was given to John Forti (link below).  Read on :

Happiness is … Spring time in the garden

Planting Your Spring Garden

For the Garden of Your Daily Living

Plant Three Rows of peas
1. Peace of Mind
2. Peace of Heart
3. Peace of Soul

Plant Four Rows of Squash
1. Squash Gossip
2. Squash Indifference
3. Squash Grumbling
4. Squash Selfishness

Plant Four Rows of Lettuce
1. Lettuce be Faithful
2. Lettuce Be Kind
3. Lettuce Be patient
4. Lettuce Really Love One Another

No Garden is Complete Without Turnips
1. Turnip for Meetings
2. Turnip for Service
3. Turnip to Help One Another

To Conclude our Garden we Must Have Thyme
1. Thyme for Each Other
2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for Friends

Water Freely with patience and Cultivate with Love.
There is Much Fruit In Your Garden Because
You Reap What You Sow.
Pass It On ! ! !

There you have it with lots to think about and a reminder to consider what is important and what isn’t. Seems most appropriate for today and looking to the future.  With thanks to Mr. John Forti!
Best wishes ~ and have fun in your Spring garden ~ Liz
