garden of my heart


Within my heart a garden growsWild with violets and fragrant rose.
Bright daffodils line the narrow path,
My footsteps, silent as I pass.
Sweet tulips nod their heads in rest;
I kneel in prayer to seek God’s best.
For ‘round my garden a fence stands firm
To guard my heart so I can learn
Who should enter, and who should wait
On the other side of my locked gate.
I clasp the key around my neck
And wonder if the time is yet.
If I unlocked the gate today,
Would you come in, or run away?
