I
have a secret garden hidden in the corner of my mind
I put aside time to visit my garden every day,
It is surrounded by a pond filled with fishes
All kind and colors, Ah such a beautiful array.
It is perfect here, no drought, just the greatest spot
It’s never too cold and naughty weeds are never found,
It gets the perfect amount of sunshine and rain
And special healthy nutrients from the ground.
The Trumpet Vines are blooming with Orange Trumpets of
nectar
Inviting the birds of various color to come and dine,
The vines and trees filled with tags of Wisteria inviting
them too
Who wouldn’t like to live in this place that is so Divine.
The aroma of the Honeysuckle is so sweet
It adorns the garden sharing it’s specialties along the way,
I admire the splendor of the vines and flowers
As they enrich my life and give me joy almost every day.
There by the bushes of Azaleas are many type of Roses
They have fresh dew drops on their petals, Who can compare,
With their fragrance, perfection, colors
And their the velvety splendor, Oh so rich and rare.
It’s time for me to leave my secret garden and return to
reality
Next time perhaps I will visit a valley, a mountain or sea,
It is so nice to know I have the power and ability to dream
And go anyplace and anytime my imagination will take me.
