For The Gardener

In springtime is promise of light-hearted fun
As flowers peek upward and reach for the sun.

The gardener delights as he watches each bloom,
Pulling out weeds so each plant will have room.

He nurtures and waters and carefully tends,
Enjoying his task as his service he lends.

God gives us flowers in lovely array.....
It seems every bloom His love does portray.

The blossoms bring joy and their scent fills the air.
Only God could make flowers.... so many and so rare.

The gardener's pleasure is endless, you see.
As he works with his hands, in his heart there is glee.

The gardener is blessed when his garden is done,
For he has touched God in the flowers..... each one.


"Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us....."
Psalm 90:17 NKJ
