Steadfast in richness
is the path on which we step,
a most pleasurable gift
our sanctum of love—
we walk on His creation
made by His wonderful hand.

His whispering wind
caresses with loving touch
through the ebb and flow of life...
Praise our Creator
for knowing our needs and wants;
He gifts us before we ask.

We tend this garden
in our perennial care
of earth and wind’s resources;
let us treat its worth
with respect and thankfulness
through generations to come.



Inspired by: "Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." Khalil Gibran
