NO FRUITS ON THE MANGO TREE |
The mango tree in my courtyard is five years old,
It refuses to bear fruit. |
How long have I to wait for its fruit? He asked me: Do you water and manure the tree regularly? Do you take care of it daily in its tender age? Is it located under a big tree? Does it receive the Sun-rays daily? |
Wait and learn the art of patience There is time for everything It is in waiting that you receive the unexpected. |
You may plant the tree But it is I who give them flowers and buds You may water the plant But it is I who give water for all to drink You may manure the tree But it is I who make the soil fertile. |
The tree is mine The Sun is mine All that you see around is mine. |
I have no claim on anything in the universe I have no right to complain. Teach me Lord to be humble And to live with grace |
You had no part in the creation of the universe You are created on the last day. You are only a steward in my garden. |
