Sometimes, We Forget . . .

"Blessed are the men and women who are planted on Your Earth,
in Your Garden,
who grow as Your trees and flowers grow,
who transform their darkness to light.
Their roots plunge into darkness;

their faces turn toward the light.
All those who love You are beautiful;
they overflow with Your presence
so they can do nothing but good."
