In God's garden

The beauty of life stirring
through the blessings of God's
love and understanding.
Radiating from his smile and tears
of joy.
Where everything is beautiful
without any contempt of sin.
Filling us with his joyful light
and protecting us from the beginning
to the end of our lives here on this
earth, while birthing us more eternally
so as to show us our true worth.

Author notes

Amid all of his love he has blessed us with the wonders of his garden to love, hope, and understand.

    Darryl, you have such a deepseated faith, and you truly love your life that He's blessed you with, and honestly on a frantic Monday like this, it's a treasure to see.
    Blessings always Darryl. You never fail to make me smile.
    Jin

    P.S. and congratulations on your shiny too...! Beautiful!

    Beautiful!!!

    I love this piece Darryl, truly truly love it. It is difficult to pick my favourite bit of it up I think that you have excelled yourself with the words -
    while birthing us more eternally
    as to show us our true worth.
    Just one thing . Would it sound better if you put -
    so as to show. ???? Well done my friend and good luck in the contest. Val

    "protecting us from the beginning
    to the end of our lives here on this earth" I love these lines most. I think all of earth is "God's garden" and we are all his little seedling needing His tender loving care. Beautiful poem!

    I like this.

    The words "while birthing us more eternally
    as to show us our true worth" is such a profound 'statement'. If we can understand this, we will want to 'walk' under the caring eyes of God. His Son 'pathed' this for us. A poem of simplicity's path of 'nurturance'. Frans
