The Gardener Mark Roberson

Every child has a place to go when feeling down and low. Refuge may be found in a treehouse, sandgully, or nearby cave. It could be in the attic, in the basement, or even in the gazebo on the knoll overlooking the pond. And it just may be found in the garden where the maxims of life are on full display. Little Tommy was the youngest of three children in a family of five. Stubborness and rebellion had taken root in the young lad's life. Selfishness seemed to be providing the nutrition they needed to grow. Weeds of dissidence were robbing him of his joy and the love of his family. Then, he met the gardener.
