Garden

I'm going to plant a garden in the fertile soil of fantasy

I'm going to weave a tapestry in endless shades of green

I'm going to plant a garden where the river runs into the sea

And there will be flowers there such as grow in your dreams

 

/ ED ED / / / /

 

I do believe that flowers grow

Wherever someone tends them gently so

And I know that all I need

Is the life that spring brings forth from every seed

 

Step into the garden where the bees are buzzing with delight

Everything is blooming and perfuming all the air

Walk amongst the flower beds where everything is fresh and bright

Spring is arriving life's reviving everywhere

 

And I've seen the seeds I've sown

Sprouting up in ways I'd never known

And I know that spring is good

And everything I plant grows as it should

 

Spring turns to summer fall to winter then to spring again

But it's always springtime in the garden in my dreams

Life is a circle having no beginning and no end

And from this source the dew of life flows out in streams

 

Spring has come the world is new

And all the songs the children sing are true

Each new day the love I've seen

Pours freshly out and turns the whole world green

 

Step into the garden!
