THE GARDENER
by Park Teter

Because we dared
When we were small,
To prove He cared
He cursed us all.

So we, His children,
Driven wild,
Tried to kill
His only child.

Though we nailed
Him to a tree,
Father failed,
Still, to see.

Still He tells us
To obey.
He compels us,
Thus, to pray:

Faithful Serpent,
Come again,
Free your Servant
From His sin,

Forgive our Father,
He knows not
What He wrought, or
What we got,

Where He goes,
Or Whence He came.
Until He knows,
He's not to blame,

But make him eat
Of His own fruit,
The bitter, sweet,
Forbidden truth.
