A garden prayer ...

Lord

Look upon my garden in the early morning light
through the midday sun and in the dark of night

Look upon the morning dew as it rests on each grass blade
and gives life to God’s creations, everything his own hands made

Look upon the daisies that dance amid the grass
and upon the thorny roses may their beauty everlast

Look upon the structures that support the climbing plants
and look upon the hedgerow that I always care for and enhance

Look upon the baskets, the pots and flowering tubs
each little gem that lives here was planted up with love

Look upon the gravel path that leads me to the shed
where after many hours of labour, I rest my weary head

Look upon the creatures that live within this place
and keep them safe and well and bless them with your grace

Look upon the children that play upon the lawn
and show them your precious love as they rise each splendid dawn

Look upon the large old tree as he stands there on his plot
and protects my favourite flower of all the blue ‘forget me not’

Look upon the flower beds when asleep and when in bloom
those wonderous flowers delight me and take away my gloom

Look upon the fountain with pure water flowing free
and look upon the fragrances that fill my heart with glee

Look upon each season Lord as my garden changes form
and fills my heart with gladness each and every morn

Look upon my garden Lord each day when i’m not here
and send the rain, the sun the wind to keep it full of cheer

I pray oh Lord you keep this garden full of life and full of glee
and each day when I visit Lord, this garden will remind me of thee
