The Garden


Inside you there's a garden
Where precious flowers grow
The fruit of love abundant thrives
And refreshing rivers flow

So colorful, your garden
A rainbow treat to view
With treasures that reach upward
To catch the morning dew

Patience is a lily
Compassion is a rose
Emotion is a violet rare
Whose beauty brightly glows

I`m in awe of what a sweetness
With which you fill the air
The birds and bees adore you
As the winds play in you hair

And I am the most fortunate
Of all that live and breathe
That I may tend your garden
What a pleasure, I believe

And as I behold the glory
Of all that grows in you
The beauty and the sweetness
That makes my life anew

I give thanks to the Creator
For the work He made you be
A precious gift and treasure
For all the world to see

J. David Solomon
