Like a good parent
an assistant to the potter
a servant of the gardener
there when the master calls
Watching, assisting in the effort
being the hands of the sculptor
pruning in the right season
going where we are called
Each of us in our ways
gifted for the work
giving our hands to the creator
that through us his grace
his love, living waters
would rain down on the earth
