 The Keepers
The
keeper of the garden builds an
everlasting environment that is filled with beauty and peace. In the
middle of that garden is a haven . . . a birdhouse, a safe place for
fledglings to grow and flourish before taking off on their own. The
gardener provides nourishment to feed his feathered friends, to make
them grow strong and healthy. He protects them from predators, watching
from afar, not interfering with the balance of nature. They flutter and
fly and sing their sweet songs from the safety of their home in the
garden, and then, one day, they are gone. The keeper of the garden
experiences a moment of sadness at the loss, but he knows that he has
done well.
We are, you
and I, the keepers of the
garden of life and learning, protecting the sanctity and serenity of
the "schoolhouse." We build an educational environment that is filled
with opportunity and experience. We provide nourishment to feed our
cherished children, to make their minds grow strong and healthy. We
protect them from outside forces and influence, watching them from
afar, letting them try out their wonderful wings of independence. They
sing their sweet songs of newfound knowledge and then one day, they are
gone. We, too, experience a moment of sadness at the loss, but we know
that we have done well as keepers of the garden of life.
