My People Garden Project



When there's a need, I plant a seed
Of hope so they won't quit.
I help them see that they can be
A "gardener" bit by bit,

But not the kind that you would find
With tools to work the earth.
I mean the place behind your face
Where plans and dreams have birth.

A friendly nudge so they will budge
To help their garden grow
When they believe they can achieve
And see what faith can show.
