My Journey to God

A Heavenly Garden

When my time does come, to God I pray,
That in His heavenly garden I may stay.
To plant a seed with tender care,
And grow a heavenly blossom fair.
A blossom of velvet petals and brilliant hue,
And sweetly kissed with delicate dew,
A perfect flower for God I’ll grow,
In this eternal garden, my seeds I’ll sow.
On bended knee, to Him I pray,
I’ll be your heavenly gardener if I may.
