The Gardener's Creed
I believe in good brown earth, sun and soil,
seed and birth
Rest is sweetest when it comes after happy toil
I believe in miracles, bud and leaf and fruit
Spring into loveliness from the hidden root.
I believe that He who made roses and birds and bees
Wanted us to make His world beautiful to see, Meant us to
be gardeners, making green things grow.
I believe we do His work when we plant and sow.
I believe that He whose hand fashioned Eden's flowers put
into the heart of man love of trees and flowers.
That is why a garden gives us blessings manifold ...
Health and healing, contentment,
peace and joys
untold.
