One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four...
I've fed the dog and the cats and done my laundry chore.
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, eight,
I've mended the fence but still need to fix that old gate.
Watermelon, sweet potato, corn, and zucchini --
When I punished Gabs for lying, she called me Grandma Meanie.
Summer squash, asparagus, tomatoes, Brussels' sprouts --
I'm gonna get my chores done (although I have my doubts)
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four --
I've bathed the kids and done my chores and only have one more.
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, eight
Life is growing like a garden; and though busy, life is great!

Author Notes
Life is like a garden and we, my dear friends, are the harvest. Of course, we're also the gardener, pulling weeds, watering, debugging, and doing all that fun stuff. But God is the master gardener, so don't lose heart! :)
That final chore, the one I alluded to but didn't specify, is time to unwind, decompress and spend time with God. Otherwise, the weeds take over and my garden is doomed!
Thanks for reading!
