Given by You, Lord
Full, rich, lush
Calling my hands
And I cannot resist
The temptation to shape it
To my own will and desire and sustenance.
Give me this one indulgence, Lord
Bear with my audacious attempts
To embellish Your handiwork
Cede me this bit of Earth
To create a humble oasis —
A place for me to welcome your angels
And rest in Your presence.
