I have a precious garden; I must take care of it,
A special place where I must work on it.
My heart is an exceptional soil
There can be sown the good and evil.
The garden flourishes when good is sown
Love and hope sprout and grow.
Kindness spreads out in all directions
There are excellent fruits in trees of emotions.
I look at the garden and see its sublime perfection
I feel peace of mind and joy in my heart.
It is being poured out, a rain of blessings
God’s water makes new things.
However, some intruders may arrive
In the darkness and shadows, they try to hide.
They are the enemies of the garden of my life
Destruction of my happiness is their only desire.
They trample and cut the plants, and spread vileness
Trying exhaustively to kill happiness.
They want all kindness to be uprooted
They want to see the dry drought, lifeless, deserted.
There arrived disguised many of these enemies.
They said they would help me.
They promised they would always be with me
They promised they were friends of me
They were sent by the destroyer, the evil one
He is the great enemy of the Lord, the Mighty One.
He cannot see good on the earth
He soon sends his servants to disturb.
Greater than the enemy of the garden is its Creator
Greater than evil is the goodness of the Lord.
Even if the enemy sends his whole army
They are not more than insects before the Almighty.
The Lord will drive away all evil from my garden
Even if plagues come, I will destroy them.
God will take care of my heart every day
Showing His infinite kindness over my life and way.
