I Want To Be Able, As Days

I Take Simple Everyday Things That Happen To Me And I Figure It Happens To A Lot Of Other People And I Make Simple Rhymes Out Of Them.

But Keep On Working And Hoping Still. For In Spite Of The Grumblers Who Stand About, Somehow, It Seems, All Things Work Out.

The Man Who Wants A Garden Fair, Or Small Or Very Big, With Flowers Growing Here And There, Must Bend His Back And Dig. The Things Are Mighty Few On Earth That Wishes Can Attain. Whate'er We Want Of Any Worth We've Got To Work To Gain. It Matters Not What Goal You Seek, It's Secret Here Reposes: You've Got To Dig From Week To Week To Get Results Or Roses.

Every Thought And Every Act Were To Keep This Home In Tact.

If Your Purse No Longer Bulges And You've Lost Your Golden Treasure, If Times You Think You're Lonely And Have Hungry Grown For Pleasure, Don't Sit By Your Hearth And Grumble, Don't Let Mind And Spirit Harden. If It's Thrills Of Joy You Wish For Get To Work And Plant A Garden! If It's Drama That You Sigh For, Plant A Garden And You'll Get It You Will Know The Thrill Of Battle Fighting Foes That Will Beset It If You Long For Entertainment And For Pageantry Most Glowing, Plant A Garden And This Summer Spend Your Time With Green Things Growing.
