We are just gardeners 
Planting and pruning this 
relationship and that adjusting
light and warmth promoting 
and prompting and protecting 
It’s an arduous task 
especially difficult for those 
without thumbs much less 
green the love is
not in the finding 
or even the planting 
the love is in 
the maintaining of such
things as plants and 
just about damn near 
anything you take home
