My Garden, My Altar
Lead me, my mother, my soil,
my sun. Lead me to my forever
home, soil beneath my feet.
You tempt me, mother, before I labor.
I live to worship you in the cool
of the morning, before the leaves wilt.

Someone wrote a poem with altar in one line and garden in the other, but I can’t remember who you were. But your lines inspired this poem.
“Lead me to my forever home” is beautiful and displays such faith in the soil’s power.
Wow, what a love song!

What a lovely hymn! 🙂
Yes, a hymn and it is indeed lovely.
Thanks so, my friends.
Love the idea of garden as altar. So true.
