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.
