A green shoot sprung between the cracks
of a well walked road called life
and during many hardships along the way
bearing the sun’s harsh rays
And often torrential rains
slowly the leaves drooped

as my heart sank

wondering when will I wither away
But a gentle gardener reached to me
and plucked me from my broken state
With gentle hands he planted me
in peaceful green with love and care
From there I rose and bloomed again

God is my gracious gardener
and I am a flower planted in heaven’s fields
