Garden of Tomorrow

My gardening is in man
Growing relationships is the bomb
Betting on people
Placing my brain in the garden
Growing strength in man
Bridging oceans and sculpting statues
Counseling and praying
My garden is growing.

Preaching and teaching along the rows
Planting men and seeing them grow
Feeding the body and watering the plants
Clothing the flowers and harvesting the crops
Stringing the beans and tilling the soil
Sunday school teaching and mentoring people
My garden is growing.
