The Garden Bed
I remember in our Literature classes at school the questions I thought were all “stupid”. How could we possibly know what was on the authors mind when the book or poem was written? How do we know that when they say they wanted to go and fly that they weren’t thinking of taking flight through the air as opposed to merely escaping from the stressfulness of the day.

The Garden Bed Tossed and sweat to plant a seed His valor typical of his breed Early to start and late to stop Give all he had until the last drop A day to plough a day to toil Repeating tomorrow on this barren soil Drops fell and later came a burning sun Everything was lost and the seeds were done Now he found new soil and he ploughed away Braved the weather and worked harder each day Enjoyed his routine and before he knew it, the seed took root Drizzles came, light sunshine and soon The Garden Bed bore
fruit |
