Radish

In the afternoon my teacher and I harvested radish fresh from the school garden. After four weeks of watering and caring for the garden working hard and being responsible gardeners we were pleased and surprised to see how fast the tiny seeds grew and to see the round bright red radishes.

Father in Heaven,

all creation rightly gives you praise,

for all life and all holiness comes from you.

In the plan of your wisdom

She who bore the christ in the womb

Was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.

And join in her hymn of endless love and praise.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen

Low Tide

Low tide

I walk beside you

across mudflats in

my blue gumboots,

over crackling oyster

shells, green-ribbed pipe,

the traces of wading birds.

When the tide is out, what lies exposed:

river threads of mud, old brown stones,

tiny muscles yet to grow;

my sole prince left

to the ocean's

bones.
