        GARDENER OF MY LIFE
If I am the gardener of my own life I will need
Tools of all kinds and many a different seed
To plant, a pretty useful garden at last to show
When the time comes for me to plant my last row.

My tools are persistence, hard work and good soil,
No different than a spade or trowel with which to toil
In a real garden so that it looks good to always see,
I hope it will be the same with the inner side of me.

Weed killer is repentance that we need often to use
Pictures on seed packets, shows the things I should choose,
That is just like the Holy Ghost showing me the right way,
The things I should have that is good in my garden to stay.

I feel that prayer and the scriptures enrich my planting soil
For as I plant all the good seeds shown me, I can easily foil
The evil one who wants my spiritual seeds to shrivel and die,
If it is watered by good deeds and care Satan will pass me by.

I want the very best garden that I can plant within my heart,
Full of pretty and useful things and so many blessings impart,
When I reach the final destination and my best bouquet I give,
Maybe smile in acceptance and say, ‘come and with me live.’
