Daniel Cwiak Poet Narrative

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 !
