1. THE GARDEN

Only take heed, and keep your soul diligently,
Lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen,
And lest they depart from your hearts all the days of your life;
Make them known to your children and your children's children.

--Deuteronomy 4:9


A little garden,
Fragrant and full of roses.
The path is narrow
And a little boy walks along it.

A little boy, a sweet boy,
Like that growing blossom.
When the blossom comes to bloom,
The little boy will be no more.

--Franta Bass
