Gardenias and jasmine fill my senses
As their fragrance floats along the breeze
Such a perfume is so exquisite
'tho it sometimes makes me sneeze

Surrounded by nature's beauty
In another world am I
As I admire the grace and beauty
Of the birds as they fly on by

My flowering gum tree is a haven
For the rainbow lorikeets so fine
As they sample nectar from my garden
Their brilliant colors how they shine

The smell of freesias fills my head
As I inhale the perfume oh so sweet
Then I head towards my birch tree
To rest upon the garden seat

The peacefulness here is so calming
As I soak up the last rays of the sun
Many more hours I'll enjoy in this paradise
Where Mother Nature and I become one
