Garden

I asked God for a tree

Was given a forest

I asked God for water

Was given an ocean

I asked God for land

Was given earth

I asked God for an angel

I got you to love

  ============================================ 

 I can't help staring at your

pretty baby face

sleeping framed by hair

soft as lace

on your cheek a soft red

blush of health

Your life means more to me

than earthly wealth

May the good Lord

give m the power

too look after you

as a growing flower

in his earthly garden

to treat you as an angel

borrowed from heaven

{J.J.N}
