To see the beauty of the unfinished work!
This is the secret to serenity
And peace of mind
Each of us is a work in progress
And we are beautiful
As we are
To appreciate that transformation
Takes time
Nothing of value
Can be accomplished at once
To have the wisdom of looking ahead
to see how what we do
Will affect everyone
To contemplate and consult
Then make a decision
Accept the consequences
Learn, and carry on…
The gardener will be joyous
When the tree bears fruit
But he will love and appreciate
The tree from the time it’s small
He will water the tree
And care for it
Allowing it to grow slowly
In time
Once we manage to do this
Each day can feel
Like how we imagine
The destination to be like
