​He Who Owns A Garden
 
He who owns a garden,
     However small it be,
Whose hands have planted in it
     Flower or bush or tree;
He who watches patiently
     The growth from nurtured,
Who thrills a newly opened bloom
     Is very close to God.

I have basked in the sentiments of this poem and share it with the gardeners I have met in my life. My Mother,Agnes, instilled in me the subtle depth of plant soulfulness that this poem exudes in the simplest of words. You are very close to God.
