Welcome to the Chaplain's Corner

 

Every Heart – A Garden by Sandi Fischer

The heart is like a garden
Where many things can grow
The crop that it produces there
Depends on what we sow

Thoughts begin the process
They are just like seeds
Some will bring forth harvests rich
While others only weeds

Whatever thoughts we nourish
If bitter, harsh or cold
They root and sprout within the heart
And multiply tenfold

If we would sow but kindness,
Mercy, grace and love
The heart would be a garden
Like the Gardener’s one above

Lush and full of blessings
Eternally pristine
Overflowing, reproducing
Only gardens green

So daily plant your garden
Taking care to think your part
For what you sow you’ll also reap
In the garden of your heart
