Growing Like a Garden

Our communities, our faith journey
hope in love, in living together
in growing as one, like a summer garden
fed and watered, by the depths of God’s love
healing coming, weeds removed
dry places tilled, new soil begun
growing like a garden
tended and cared for
a harvest in God’s season
all to be restored
