Blooms to Tend

Blooms to tend

They wend their way from bud and seed

To gardens, Hearts

Where innocence and wonder leads

Us back to where

Each journey starts

And we are gladder than we were

Before the days

That drew our thought

From innocence and wonder to

A place of

Simple joys forgot

But now with

Reverence and love

We thank the Lord

For days that send

Sweet innocence and wonder of

A little home

With blooms to tend
