Our Garden
Endowed by the Almighty
gracious provision-source bounty
our orphanage garden’s identity
exudes wondrous natural beauty…
Green-leafy vegetables of health purity
strengthen well-being tenacity
while their buds assure with certainty
palatable veggie salad of nutritious verity…
Flowers cheer with their varied colors, indeed pretty
white angels midst sampaguitas waft their scent’s serenity
rosas de baybayon and red petioles show their dancing faculty
as yellow bells hide amongst peace lilies their petals so dainty…
Gracious orchard offering refreshing security
our “Gardenage*” invites us for lung exercise stability
meeting us with its relaxation bliss availability
serving as haven, rejuvenating care-giving faculty...
'Plantscaped' fortress against attacking irritability
welcoming Bible meditation, upholding faith’s tenacity
nurturing moments for prayer tranquility
our “Gardenage” brings blessings** of God in functional entirety.
*"Gardenage" is the name of our orphanage garden, since we have several gardens encompassing our church’s “Botanical Ministry.”
**Genesis 49:25 …The Almighty, … shall bless thee with blessings…
