MY GARDEN



WINTER HAS TOUCHED MY GARDEN
SOME HAVE DIED
SOME ARE DYING
THOSE THAT LIKE WINTER THRIVE
LIKE TRUTHS THAT NEVER CHANGE

WHILE SOME HAVE MANY RESURRECTIONS
OTHER HAVE A BUTTERFLIES FLIGHT
AND DIE

MOST OF US ARE LIKE THE MIDDLE CHILD
LIKE PAUL WE KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO
BUT DON’T DO IT
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
POOR PERFORMANCE

BUT I WAS TALKING ABOUT MY GARDEN
IT’S GOOD TO GIVE IT A SABBATH REST

IT IS GOOD TO KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY
IT IS BETTER TO HAVE IT THE CLIMAX OF A HOLY WEEK

HOW MANY FACES OF FLOWERS
IN MY GARDEN
EACH ONE A UNIQUE CREATION

HOW MANY FACES OF PEOPLE
IN GOD’S GARDEN
EACH A UNIQUE CREATION

SOON SNOW WILL FALL
MY GARDEN WILL SLEEP UNDER A BLANKET
PEACEFUL

GOD GIVE PEACE TO YOUR GARDEN

BUT AS YOUR ASSISTANT
I MUST TEND THE GARDEN
SUMMER AND WINTER

SO THAT IN SPRING
WHEN THE WARMING
GENTLE BREEZE BLOWS
MY GARDEN MAY GROW

MAY THE PERFUME OF THE GARDEN
RISE
LIKE INCENSE BEFORE YOU

MAY MEN SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE GARDEN
AND LIVE ACCORDINGLY
