The Garden Gate

My garden’s always open,
Come enter through the gate.
Don’t waste another moment,
You might leave it far too late.

I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it,
When you see just what’s inside.
Don’t stand out there so lonely,
Come enjoy my special ride.

Inside the gate I offer solace,
So your mind just let it rest.
Commune with beauty all around you,
You’ll feel so very blessed.

The first thing you will notice,
The peace that does abound.
For I do not allow conflict,
In the garden I have found.

My garden holds no weeds within,
It’s tended with much care.
So all who enter through the gate,
Will see something so rare.

You’ll see a garden full of love,
And people all around.
For friends are really flowers,
And in God’s garden they abound.

For it really is God’s garden,
I am only there to tend.
And invite you all to come inside,
To meet another friend.

Stroll amongst the flowers,
Stop and say hello.
For all around that garden,
It’s love and peace that flows.

There are flowers from all nations,
They’ve entered through the gate.
No longer do they use that word,
That once they knew as hate.

All hatred must be left outside,
Before through the gate you tread.
Now true love for fellow man,
Is what you’ll have instead.

The grass seems so much greener,
All flowers are in bloom.
If this garden keeps on growing,
We’ll need a lot more room.

But room is not a problem,
The world’s at our front door.
We simply shift the gate somewhat,
And invite so many more.

For if we keep inviting,
All others to our midst.
Then the whole world is God’s garden,
And we all, with love be blessed.

I’m sure God does love our garden,
As He looks down from above.
Sees mankind seated side by side,
Filled with eternal love.

For this garden is not really mine,
Just something I had to do.
To sow the seeds of friendship,
For the likes of me and you.

The seeds have all now sprouted,
And other seeds they send.
So my prayers for peace be answered,
When the whole world is a friend.
