Just a little toil
Mixed with sun and soil
Makes a therapeutic balm,
Nothing else I know
Like my gloves and hoe
Brings such restorative calm.
Values re-arrange
And perspectives change
When I'm master of the sod.
There's a kindred tie
Between earth and sky
And I'm nearer there to God.
Mind and body, too
Breathe of life anew
And of nature's wealth avail.
With my hoe in hand
I can tame the land
And my restless soul as well.
