Poem

This is a poem my Mother sent me for my birthday 11 years ago and I still treasure it, it was found in the Good Housekeeping magazine and written by Dorothy Moffatt:

                                    ALL I NEED


All I need
           To make good my lot
Is a seed to take flower
            and a garden plot,
Water and sun
          and a hand to lend
A little help
           when my back won't bend,
Someone to praise,
          someone to care
About the flowers
          growing there.
This is enough--
            Pleasant hours to spend,
Some sun and a plot,
            a flower and a friend.

I love the poem and it's so appropriate for what I am doing with garden. Or should I say dirt pile. :-)
