Some are made and don't quite live
I do not care of these things we buy
So please forgive, it's how I live
I stand alone with green thumbs
Not like many with stacks of funds
I cultivate with love, and just for fun
We call them eggs
They call them seeds
Either way all life starts with these
I'm going to grow some friends of my own
Not one, two, or three oh no
An Eden's garden is what I foresee
My mother's earth her soil's pure
A perfect place for life to stir
My baby seeds are placed at last
Now to let the autumn days go pass
Daily feedings, life's great gift
The rain and sun make them lift
To the sun they raise their hands
And look to it like fellow man
As they slowly spout right out
My perfect babies don't scream or shout
They rise so quickly to the sky
When spring time came they shot so high
The buds opened up their womb
And spread a sweet pleasant bloom
And as time pass they'll be dead at last
But rest assure they will be back
They may be plants but they make love
And reproduce, by seeds thereof
