This week's poem:

God is in the Garden

By James R. Fox

God is in the garden Watching the flowers bloom

He cultivates and waters

Creating life inside the womb

He sprinkles each and every one

Lists them all and gives them life

Some will be healthy, others will have strife

A baby is a special gift That comes from heaven above

It is our responsibility

To see they grow with love God plants many crops

Watches each and every one

We come in many colors

The Lords work is never done

So if you have time to give

A child could use some love

For we are what we sow

God is watching from above
