The Garden of Life

I believe
life is a garden
wherein we plant
flowers or weeds
I believe
we are the seed pods
we scatter
as we proceed
I believe
we are planting
life’s garden
with all of our
actions
and deeds
If we wish
a garden
of beauty
of lovely flowers
not weeds
I believe for a
garden of beauty
then we have to
plant the
right seeds
I believe
if we want
love and kindness
our harvest
as farmers all know
I believe
we must spread
love and kindness
we are likely to reap
what we sow.
