Two Gardens
There are few man-made sights more resplendent, Than a well groomed garden scene. It can lead our thoughts to be transcendent Of this world, so bitterly mean.
I‘ve been surrounded by fields of roses, near Wasco city, in Central Cal. And seen the acres of red tulips each year As the mild crosswinds made them bow.
I’ve rested in grand, well-designed backyards Marveling at their beauty That would challenge the most talented bards Performing their verbal duty.
I’ve seen special gardens, like Forrest Lawn, Where our loved ones are reposing, Awaiting the impending glorious dawn And Satan’s final deposing.
Yet, there are two gardens with more impact Upon one’s fleeing finite life. First, where Adam broke God’s Eden contract Along with Eve; his fallen wife.
And Gethsemane where Christ submitted To die for us upon the cross That we could be restored and admitted To heaven, free of sinful dross.
Two gardens, one of revolt, one of surrender Exemplify our choice and fate. One leads to ruin, the other to splendor Which choice will you emulate?
