help me to tend my garden

help me to tend my garden
to water, to plant
to nurture the seeds
help me to weed
to be vigilant daily
not giving the weeds
time to root, to grow
guide me in the tending
in the feeding, the watering
give me a harvest to share
prune the dead away
the fruitless branches
help me to tend
my garden for You.
