May I have a garden, Mom
One that’s only mine?
A little patch is all I need
A corner would be fine
I want to plant 9 carrots
I’ll watch them while they grow
Two broccoli, one cabbage
Are all the seeds I’ll sow
I’ll have to put a path in
And build a little fence
An arch for beans to grow on
A “Welcome” sign makes sense
May I have a garden, Mom?
One that’s only mine?
A little patch is all I need
In the bright sunshine
a pinch of homestead 
My parents made the mistake of allowing me into their garden when I was a tyke.
And look at you now! I hope I can instill a love of the land in my little guys!
