Summer Sun adds sweat to my brow
As I toil in a day too long and bright,
Yet I continue my struggle for now.

It just a garden too small to plow
In need of weeding to set it right,
Summer Sun adds sweat to my brow

Thirsty the leaves shrink and bow
From little water and too much light,
Yet I continue my struggle for now.

With my efforts it survives somehow
Resting with a cool drink every night,
Summer Sun adds sweat to my brow

When finished my toil in soil I will allow
Myself to rest away from the sunlight
Yet I continue my struggle for now.

The garden’s survival is a minor vow
Flowers to enhance my daily sight,
Summer Sun adds sweat to my brow,
Yet I continue my struggle for now.

We who toil and wipe sweat from our brows will smile insistently when the fruits of our labour begin to show.

Beautifully done.
