My Garden

by Lucy M. Young

Dear Lord, I thank You for my lovely garden.
I thank You for my sister's help in planting it,
And for the strength You've given me to tend it.
I thank You, too, for sending wind and rain
To nurture it, and make it grow abundantly.

Lord, grant that I may share with others
The bounty of my harvest;
For sharing makes the fruit taste so much sweeter,
And satisfies the soul.
