Tend the Garden

The flower bed needs weeding - Before it is overgrown. The tree branches have fallen - Rotting, as they lie in the sun. The grass is growing brown before our very eyes - As we watch silently and do not move. Too soon come the crabgrass and dandelions The only color on this otherwise bleak scene. SO TOO...THE SPIRIT WITHIN The flowers cannot blossom - Lest we pull the weeds that choke them. The branches when cleared - Allow the sun's radiance to bask the earth. The grass must be watered and fertilized - Stoppping the dandelions before they grow. Only then, can we but see the beauty within us. Be mindful of how God's love can and will - Color the landscape of our soul, When we are willing to cultivate it... TEND THE GARDEN !
