Caretakers, stewards,
workers of the Master,
placed in God’s garden
in the fields, the vineyards,
the world created by God’s hands.
Our time here is limited
but for a moment, a breath;
God’s creation
is meant to live on.
We must be mindful
of our role, our mortality
needing to leave the earth
for future generation;
We are caretakers only in our time
our steps on this mortal coil.
