Ask any gardener and they could paraphrase
Job from The Bible for you, not knowing
where what they are saying comes from.
People who have little time for plants say
of those who do have the time for plants
that 'they have green fingers, I don't'.
What every gardener and pet owner knows
is how their life span is many times more
than that of what they nurture,
whether it be plants, animals,
or even children for that matter.
To live is to nurture what will die
before we too will die
which we can't know in advance of it happening.
*'In the mist of life we are in death' Job Ch 14
