Garden
Woodland garden takes work,
to clear the brush,
to remove the cedars,
to burn, to seed,
to love and to wait.
And all the while
the energy of God works with us,
the benevolence of God loves with us,
the patience of God waits with us.
One day this summer I will
bend down and admire a flower there,
and remember…
that God is with us always,
and that I am a flower too.
