A tiny seed, so small I hold it in my palm,
Yet its potential shows when in the garden it is placed.
Its life-filled potential greater than a child's dreams.
Awakens with the miracle of God's grace it seems.
Our creativity is a gift from the Divine.
The seedling slowly inches for the sun above.
As it grows, I'm forever thankful to our loving Lord -
Thankful for the garden we will grow together with love!
Life is like a garden,
Planted with what we sow,
A road of hard work,
Results, sometimes slow.
Yet none can know the beauty to come,
After months of steps and hum,
For a tiny seed pushed through,
With strength and determination too.
Before our eyes a bounty it grows,
Ensuring success we’ll reap what we've sowed.
An ever-hopeful journey of expectation
The garden rewards with compensation.
Through hardship the bud blossoms into a flower,
The same is true of our goals if we put in the hours.
A purpose for hope is alive in every blooming petal and leaf,
Encouraging us forward until our goals are complete.
A garden so green,
A sight so pure,
Planting the seeds
I did cure
Bringing life to this Earth,
Watching it grow and burst
In happiness and light
I was immersed
A fruit salad emerges
From the soil
Colorful vegetables
Wither my toil
From this effort of mine,
Satisfaction is defined
Where I enjoy each and every
Succulent veggie that has been refined.
Whoever makes a garden
Has never worked alone;
the rain has always found it,
The sun has always known;
The wind has blown across it
And helped to scatter seeds;
Whoever makes a garden
Has all the help he needs.
Whoever makes a garden
Should surely not complain,
With someone like the sunshine
And someone like the rain
And someone like the breezes
To aid him in his toil
And someone like the Father
Who gave the garden soil.
Whoever makes a garden
Has, oh, so many friends;
The glory of the morning
The dew when daylight ends.
For rain and wind and sunshine
And dew and fertile sod;
And he who makes a garden
Works hand and hand with God.
Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul
Plant four rows of squash:
Squash gossip
Squash indifference
Squash grumbling
Squash selfishness
Plant four rows of lettuce:
Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be obedient
Lettuce really love one another
No garden should be without turnips:
Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another
Water freely with patience and
Cultivate with love.
There is abundance in your garden
Because you reap what you sow.
To conclude our garden,
We must have thyme:
Thyme for God
Thyme for study
Thyme for prayer
