Garden of Prayer

By Elaine Arnold

I have found a peace in my garden

That rarely I’ve found anywhere;

In the growing things

There’s a silence that sings,

So that mine is a garden of prayer.

Just to feel life lifting in beauty,

Up through the dirt and the sod!

In the growing of green

From the dark unseen,

I am learning the nearness of God.

I am learning the power of a Presence

As I walk in my garden there;

And I find that His love

Bring me peace from above,

For mine is the garden of prayer.
