your garden

Don't try to be loved
Just tend your garden
Don't seek to win converts
Just tend your garden

Don't ponder failure
or look for success
Don't reach for stars
while a neighbor cries alone

Don't imagine your garden
will be like another
Shabby-looking patches
can be beautifullest of all

Don't show off your flowers
Just tend your garden
Don't seek a gardener
Just tend your garden
