A beautiful garden planted in the spring with great love

Flowers and vegetables blessed with peace from above

Every detail carefully planned and tenderly done

All this fertile soil needs now is water and sun

The first few weeks bring excitement and growth

Green buds and a bit of color are amazing both

One week goes by without any tender loving care

The young, immature plants now seem a bit scared

I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!

Why have you forgotten all about me?

Another week passes along without feeling a human hand

The fragile plants begin a slow march back to the land

I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!

Why have you forgotten all about me?

A third week arrives with unhappiness and despair

The once promising garden can’t surely be repaired

I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!

Why have you forgotten all about me?

From high above comes His promise to bring rain

Soon a gentle, nourishing mist reduces the pain

Humans need to be fed from above by Him

We must ask Him gently like singing a hymn

Without loving care, the garden and people will perish

The Lord adores all of His creation with love to cherish

Let us never, ever wonder and say . . .

I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!

Why have you forgotten all about me?

To have little faith isn’t part of our day!
