IN A GARDEN TOGETHER

Oh God that we would walk among the hours of this day

As if we walked in a garden with you

Would that we offer to each other cups of warmth

Smiles to to strangers

A hand to help with the weight of carrying the day

That you would empower us to share with each other our stories

And in the telling, reconnect to yours

That as we walk into the wild wonder of this fractured planet

We would not forget the quiet beauty of every breathing chest

Filled to the bursting with divine purpose

And when we fail and falter in our hobbled gait

Would you lead us again in your gentle grace

Back to the path of love

As if we walked once more

In a garden together
