Blue leather-bound hands,
encompassing soil and root.
Potted, and kept safe.
Sun soaked in warmth,
growing towards the bright orb,
watered by the clouds.
Terra cotta pots.
Deep dark pools form underneath.
Water feeding roots
Leaves spring forth under sky.
Splayed like mitts, ready to catch dew.
Green sun-catching hands.
Spade scoops softened earth,
creating homes for eggs.
Preparing to sprout.
Careful gardener
watches over his children
knowing what they need.
Markers placed nearby.
Identify their names,
for the forgetful.
Patience, care and time.
These are the ingredients,
for a good garden.
