The green Garden Ambassador


I dig my hands into the Florida soil,

Planting seeds where only weeds used, to grow.

In our school garden, I am volunteer of hope,

Watching life climb toward the sun in a row.

Just like these plants, my community need care,

A little water, a little light, and someone to be there.
