God’s Vineyard - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

We are the workers
in the fields, the orchards
the streets, the squares
his workers in God’s vineyard
the world to be restored
The garden fragile
needing our loving care
tending the garden
our hope for us there

A Caretaker of the Earth

Not the one sovereign
far less than God
the creator of heaven and earth
Humans he made
servants below
each of us a caretaker of the earth

Stewards of our master
loving the creation
tending the garden below
spreading the seeds of his message
that with his love
they may grow

Only here for a season
each of us in our time
caring for the garden
so others may enjoy
the wonders of his handiwork
all creation to behold
