Tom Wright Poet Lyric

I Am a Planter

I Am A Planter
By: Tom Wright
6/20/99

I'm just a simple planter
from a Cedar tree I'm made.
Young birds have spent time in my boughs
while beneath, perhaps, young children played.

I pray that with me you won't find fault
though I make no claim to being grand.
Much love and care has gone into each piece
that was touched by some small hand.

Those hands that built me have done their best
in fashioning me just for you.
As Haskell Free Will Baptist juniors
they sure hope that I will do.

Once your planted flowers have began to grow
and you've had occasion to stare.
Remember those young hands that fashioned me
as you go to God, in prayer.


From The Junior's V.B.S. Craft Team
