The Man

           And The Lord walked with him in his garden. The man showed The Lord all the plants that grew within. The Lord laughed, as he knew all that the man showed him, for the Lord knew all plants that grew, all the insects and birds that came into the garden.

            He said unto The Lord, "Many claim to obey Your Word, yet they seek only to destroy your gift. I cannot lie, I have not worshipped you, but I have tended this small garden. I have sown, I have reaped. I have cut down old trees, I have planted anew. Am I to be punished because I did not believe, when I have protected your gift, without want of reward?"

           The Lord looked at him and replied, "Not all who denied me are My enemy. There amongst my children those who knelt before me, and those who spurned me. And then there were a small few who saw what I brought, who sought to protect My garden, and all that grew within, and wanted not of the war which brewed."




A little translation work I've been trying to do....
