I put a plant into the ground
and soon the area around
was filled with tender shoots to fill
the waiting flower bed until
there was a mass of blooming where
once this spot was brown and bare
and so it is with God and man.
He planted us and we bagan
to send our children off to be
the founders of His dynasty.
So nurture well each little sprout,
making sure they know about
the heritage and values He
created for us, lovingly!

apsolutely beautiful analogy! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Good ananology. Parents must be reminded that children do as they see us do, rather than what we tell them. So love and live well, our children are watching.
