God's Garden

Sometimes off in the distance
If I squint my eyes just right -
I can almost see God's Garden
In the shimmering sunlight.

Lilies, roses, and pineapples;
Oaks, violets, and corn galore;
A sunlit path through the garden,
Who could want for more?

With the pure love of a father
God bequeathed his garden to us!
To care for his plants and animals,
In man - God put his trust.

Today instead of trees and plants,
Giant skyscrapers offer shade;
Concrete and asphault are the weeds
In the loving garden God once made.
