Gardener’s Recipe

Strengthen those hands

In the soil of the earth

Let them not hang down

To touch feeble knees

But let them cultivate 

Tender shoots of Life

To growth and maturity 

And cause the knees to bend

In prayer that the the feet may

Walk on paths so straight 

Where the lame won’t fall

But be healed and seek

Peace with all
