My Garden

Will it always be here, Your Creation?
This garden that You gave to me?
As I wander through green rustling bushes
With leaves and debris at my feet.

How I picture the plants I will grow here
And I hope that my life will endure
While I nurture the life You have given
To the flora You created before.

Every day Your bright sun will be faithful
Every day there’ll be clouds , maybe rain
You watch over the whole of Creation
And me too, as long as I can remain.

You are with me, so near me, dear Saviour
I’m so blessed not to walk all alone
I feel Your love in the warmth of the sunlight
And Your cleansing and healing atone.

W.B. 2013.
