    Along the path of life's dusty road,
      
                I stopped to plant a seed
                  and watch it grow.

          The 'Water of Life' I richly drew,
               
                As it bubbled forth abundantly,
                  from deep within it's well.

          And like the early morning, misting dew,

                This 'Water of Life', upon the 
                  fertile ground, I sprinkled 
                    freely all around.

          Then, with the sweet soothing sounds
             of the father's pure love,

                I nestled down nearby and 
                  cooed like a dove.

          With much prayer and thanksgiving to
             the father above,

                I asked that the seed I planted,
                  spring forth in a blossoming of...
                    'pure love'.

          Knowing one day, by the grace of our
             father alone,

                I would return with another
                  to seek 'his own'.

          This one 'seed', which in 'pure love'
             
                I was allowed to nurture and water,
                  as though it were my 'very own'.


                         With the 'love' of  
                            my whole heart, 
                               this is written 
                                  for:   Laura Ann Clark

                                     from:
