You keep a garden
Some of your arrangements are to
Boast and show off
Delight in and keep for yourself
Alter with curiousity and growth
So you keep this beautiful garden
With every right intention
For leaves to sprout with confidence
For stems to hold firm and sturdy
For flowers to flaunt beauty and rich color
But do you see your precious garden
Is so riddled with weeds?
Weeds that expose iniquity
Weeds that slowly eat away
Weeds that make your Father frown!
Try as you may, in your garden
To hide or otherwise ignore your ugly weeds
But your leaves, they will crinkle
Your stems will fall short and break
And your petals will surely wilt.

You keep a garden
Some of your arrangements are to
Boast and show off
Delight in and keep for yourself
Alter with curiousity and growth
So you keep this beautiful garden
With every right intention
For leaves to sprout with confidence
For stems to hold firm and sturdy
For flowers to flaunt beauty and rich color
But do you see your precious garden
Is so riddled with weeds?
Weeds that expose iniquity
Weeds that slowly eat away
Weeds that make your Father frown!
Try as you may, in your garden
To hide or otherwise ignore your ugly weeds
But your leaves, they will crinkle
Your stems will fall short and break
And your petals will surely wilt.
