Remembering my maker, I press on. with the fruits in sack, at the break O' dawn I find my place, in a garden so rare, Sign says "Garden of much" but oh, 'tis bare! You see, 'twas stranded, by man, long ago Im placed here, Im told my maker will show. I find a house, Its not too far away. 'Tis a cozy place, and here I shall stay My armor in tact, I lay myself down My fruit to plant, I lay it on the ground sleeping somewhat sound, the sun awakes me sitting on the table, I look to see. I notice a man, my maker to greet! when I get close, a gardener to meet. He says to me, "You have a job to do, small fruits is all you need, plant them, can you? I nod, I have them inside in my bag! He encouraged me, and showed me what I had. The first, He told me it was genuine! Rare, mistaken for one not so devine I planted it deep, and watered it so! trying to make sure my fruit rightly grow! Next fruit he shows me, is one that tastes great its hard to see, but good at any rate! Diligently, he showed me all my fruits, telling me how to raise them, and what suits. I planted them in the garden of much I watered them, and cared, is there a such? My fruits did grow, and bear they did indeed! here goes, Im ready to go out and feed. I go out to town, showing my gifts many smiled, cheered up, thier soul uplifts I share my stock, giving all I own I see the more I give, the more has grown Want to know the fruits I so freely share? Take them, as I did, Please dont go so bare! I give you, love, joy, peace, longsuffering gentleness, goodness, faith, (need buffering?) meekness and temperance, I give them all Take them, share them, plant them, and dont fall God loves all, oh so much, cant we see? dont grow bitter fruit, youre precious to me No one is perfect, most have rotten spots OH! but one did not, and God loved him lots but for YOU God gave that perfect one to die so we are forgiven, but some deny That Jesus Christ loves each of us, and ALL He'll never allow any of us to fall. So grow your fruits, and live the life! you'll cheer up many! and not go in strife! Show them that life IS a bowl of cherris Its just how they grow, and who carries ------------------ Gënt£ë¤§°û£ |

This is truly lovely, Gentle Soul. Wonderful storyline! ------------------ "Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with." *Mark Twain* |
