In My Garden

In my little garden 
I will sow seeds of
compassion and understanding.
I will nourish these seeds
with persistence and trust.
I know that my garden will 
grow slowly, and may need to 
have the weeds of intolerance and
greed , plucked out by their roots.
But peace, when it comes,
will be a harvest of joy.
