I just treat everybody like a human being with real dreams and hardships. I keep a garden. I try to leave people and things better than I found them.

   A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands; 
   How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he. 
   
   I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green 
   stuff woven. 
   
   Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord, 
   A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt, 
   Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see 
   and remark, and say Whose? 
   
   Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation.

- Walt Whitman
