Our Family Garden

My family is a garden,

A place where we can grow.

Our garden is for people,

Not plants grown in a row.

We’re growing love and patience.

We’re growing kindness, too.

We’ve planted seeds of service

For things we all can do.

Politeness grows inside us;

We’re sharing more each day.

Our smiles are growing bigger—

Like the hugs we give away.

We can tell that we are growing

The seeds of love and cheer—

We fill our home with sunshine

And feel our Savior near.

I love our family garden,

Although I’m still quite small,

’Cause in our family garden,

I’m growing straight and tall.
