The gate stands ajar
Barely a glimpse do I see
What a wonderful feast for my eyes awaits me
As I slowly start to push my way through the gate
What a glorious sight beholds me - I can hardly wait!

Along the pathway I see
Baby blue forget-me-nots smiling at me
The sun's rays begin to awaken
The moonflower from its dreams
Another day is here
Filled with beauty surrounding me

Violets and pansies with faces that beam
As they're drawn to the sun
Across their faces it streams
The wisteria so heavenly
With its sweet, lovely scent
Colors of lavender and blue
Flowers arching on stems so fragrant

There's a statue of a cherub squatting down on the ground
Surrounded by rose blooms
Petals scattered all around
A grecian goddess is surrounded
By maiden hair fern at her feet
As she glances across the bridal veil
With it's small white flowers - so sweet

A cupid stands guard
Watching the sparrows on the lawn
Who come here for food
For their babies just born
So much activity I see
In my garden before me
Bees busy moving around the plant near my feet
Collecting its nectar - oh, so sweet

A place to enjoy - to be totally swept away
Everytime that I come here
To watch nature's finest display
Always something new and lovely
There is to behold
This garden is so precious
It's worth more to me than gold
