Nourishing Love

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!

Cherish the Love

Cherish the beautiful love that God has given you

His love is freely given to all without paying dues

 

Cherish the love in your life every single day

It is God’s way of showing you the best way

 

Cherish each wonderful day as it sends a precious gift

God never intends to forget you, nor leave you adrift

 

Cherish family for it brings abundant happiness

God brings His Word to help soften our sadness

 

Cherish life’s simple things as they are treasures

God offers Grace regardless of how we measure

 

Cherish a healthy relationship with God each day

He will always show you the right and proper way

 

Cherish the ultimate and unselfish love God delivers to all

His son pays for sins when we accept His passionate call
