The garden imagined
Nothing now except a jungle
Solutions speculated upon
Various ideas interjected
Other landscape ideas abound
Who really has the answer?
Blame comes into the picture
Previous caretakers
And their neglect
They were part of the problem
But easy to use as expression
There is no exasperation
Just the knowledge of much to do
So the day of reckoning
The beginning of the project
Difficulties overwhelming
The sun beating down
Work beyond comprehension
Whose idea was this anyway?
Perseverance plays its role
Work on that in front of you
Day one, two, and three
Things begin to take meaning
Reality paints its picture
Acceptable to all involved
So thankful there were no quitters
