Not of wood and stone, use a gentle deed.

Begin today and have no final date.

Build strong that quiet home that you shall need.

*

In the garden where you will plant the seed,

Sow with care and good fortune will await.

Not of wood and stone, use a gentle deed.

*

Angry and dreary words, these do not heed,

Let only your heart determine your fate.

Build strong that quiet home that you shall need.

*

Stand watchful against the troublesome weed,

Be quick to forgive and keep clean the slate.

Not of wood and stone, use a gentle deed.

*

Softness of your touch, let it take the lead.

Swing open wide that door and do not wait,

Build strong that quiet home that you shall need.

*

Let it grow free with all that love does feed.

Goodwill to all and leave no place for hate.

Not of wood and stone, use a gentle deed.

Build strong that quiet home that you shall need.
