Somewhere in your courtyard
I know there must reside
A giant and glorious tree
With leaves of waxy sheen
Deeply evergreen
For us to come and rest
In it's shade

You must celebrate the day
When warm breezes touch
The candle flame buds
And they burst open
One at a time, they unwind
With sunshine, and child like
Fascination

Creamy white blossoms
A big as dinner plates
Inviting all to come and dine
In their splendor
Created to feed the hunger
For the beautiful, the sublime

I know it's not possible
They were meant to be
Just for this world, this life
It's just a tender hint
Of what's to be in eternity

Wide open hearts
Crisp petals of light
Ivory snow sitting in the sun
Their cups flowing over
Sweet Magnolias On High

One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.
