The backyard
Like 6 Pin it 0like trees
I see the children growing
stretching in the breeze
branches full of promises
beautiful are their leaves
and I feel a certain pride
I see their imperfections
still, this feeling I can't hide
But then a thought gets roots
from deep inside my head
filling me with helplessness,
shadowing my soul with dread;
what if the rain refuse to fall one day?
will this not make their soil decay
turning their future to sand?
if the sun leaves them tomorrow
so helplessly I'll stand,
suddenly I know that I'm just a gardener
nothing but a man,
trying to prune, and guide direction;
doing the best I can
but there are so many things I cannot do
my abilities are so few
I fall on my knees, my pride blown away
praying for God’s grace and mercy
to fall on them each day

My Brother Poet Chris,
The constant gardener, snedding, in the rainless valley. Trying to bring the sun's life giving warmth to the progeny of mankind. Yet, he sees, that the creators of these offspring, have but jeopardized their futures by raping the Mother Earth. So, he turns to his most powerful implement, the cultivation of God.
Peace and Love,
xox Larry
