To care for the garden by Raymond A. Foss

To care for the garden
the world that we share
such was our charge from the Lord
dominion over the world
for our time on the earth
the planet in our loving care

Forgetting the wisdom
the plan of the creator
written in the commands of old
resting from our toils
both men and beasts
even the land to go fallow

Now, in our arrogance
the world on the brink
climate, war,
struggle out of control
a need to return
to the plan of the Lord
