"Tis My Garden Planted"

C.J. Ingerson
1/24/99

Verse 1
********

When I was a very young lady
it was my plan a garden to plant
it would have trees to keep is shady
I would take care not to say I can't.

 Verse 2
********

So it was my flowers I planted here
to grow in many bright colors, shades
and hues, of the lovely rainbow near
trimming them with my sharp blades.

Verse 3
********

They are special, but they were mine.
They are more than daughters somehow;
flowers so special, each a one of a kind,
they then grew and have flowers too now.

 Verse 4
********

So now I've many gardens for to care
for mine is grown and yet still have need
you will with others your flowers share
yet as I look it all started with one seed.

Verse 5
*******

Special is this moment each night in prayer
when I think of all my precious flowers today
just sitting here in my home and favorite chair
this is about as much as I could hope to pray.
