| MY GARDEN OF LIFE HAS MANY ROWS, SOME ARE LONG AND SOME ARE SHORT I HAVE SOME THAT GROW FAST, SOME SLOW, THERE ARE EVEN SOME THAT I HAVE TO SORT. MY FIRST ROW IS PLANTED WITH PATIENCE AND EVERYDAY IS DIFFERENT THERE, SOME DAYS IT'S OVER GROWN IN EXISTENCE, BUT SOME DAYS THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TO SPARE. MY SECOND ROW IS PLANTED WITH PRIDE FOR SOME REASON IT'S COVERED IN WEEDS, THE PLANTS JUST DON'T SEEM TO SURVIVE MAYBE I PLANTED THE WRONG ONES TO SUCCEED. MY THIRD ROW IS PLANTED WITH HAPPINESS THE FURROW RUNS CROOKED HERE QUITE A LOT CONTINUOUS WATER AND CARE, AND I GIVE FINESSE IT HELPS THIS ROW TO BALANCE THE CROP. MY FOURTH ROW IS PLANTED WITH LOVE IT'S ALWAYS LUSH AND FULL OF GREEN BECAUSE THERE'S LOVE ALWAYS, COMING FROM ABOVE MY HARVEST HERE IS PLENTY, NEVER HAS IT BEEN LEAN. MY FIFTH ROW IS PLANTED WITH FORGIVENESS THE ROW THAT TAKES THE MOST FROM ME TO FORGIVE IS TO LOVE, TO LOVE TAKES SELFLESSNESS THAT IS WHY JESUS DIED ON A TREE. MY GARDEN OF LIFE HAS MANY MORE ROWS BUT IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO SHARE THEY ALL GROW IN BALANCE, TO KEEP ME FROM WOES GOD HAS GIVEN WISDOM AND SHOWED ME HOW TO CARE. IT GROWS ON AND ON AS LIFE GROWS TOO WITH MANY LESSONS TO BE LEARNED SO I READ MY GROWING MANUAL AS A TOOL, TO KEEP IT FERTILE AND FIRM.
