The Garden Finite – v2

While we may not know the limits
the garden is finite, with boundaries;
Our world is precious, unique
given into our trembling hands.

We are made of the earth
the stuff of our clay;
Man too is finite
returning to the dust.

Here for a time only
each to do their part;
To tend, not to abuse,
the garden, this good earth.
