A Green Thumb
A green thumb is not inherited
But is earned from hard work
The result of grin and bear it
When weeds from beds you jerk
Even when you have one
A plant sometimes dies
From too little sun
Or from too much sometimes
You know a green thumb’s there
Even when gardening with gloves
It’s there when tending a cactus
And for the roses that you love
Some say that talking
Can really make plants grow
But the green thumb says
It is the watering that shows
Repotting is a green thumb secret
That revives struggling plants
And when done regularly
Gives each another chance
