(Written for a
couple's |
|
50th wedding
anniversary) |
| |
| The Master Gardener looked down one day |
| From His throne up in Heaven above |
| And He witnessed the joining of two tender
hearts |
| As they vowed their eternal love. |
| |
| "I'll give them a garden of roses", said He |
| "To lovingly care for and tend |
| Ten roses in all I'll give to them |
| But one bud at a time I'll send." |
| |
| Down through the years the rosebuds came |
| To fill the garden of love |
| And the Master Gardener looked down and smiled |
| From His throne up in Heaven above. |
| |
| So patiently they labored then |
| From early morn 'til late at night |
| To make sure that each little bud |
| Would prove a blessing in God's sight. |
| |
| Sunshine and rain, laughter and pain |
| Times of plenty and hard times too |
| They nurtured and trained the roses |
| And marveled at how well they grew. |
| |
| Now one by one they've left the garden |
| Each to start one of his own |
| And the Master Gardener still looks down |
| And smiles from His Heavenly throne. |
| |
| "Well done, my faithful gardeners |
| You have labored long and well, |
| The results of your labors |
| Only time and eternity will tell." |
