THERE ARE SECRETS IN A GARDEN

THERE ARE SECRETS IN A GARDEN

There are secrets in a garden

That only children know.

The very special treasures

Among the leaves that blow.

There is perfume in a flower,

A daisy umbrella shade,

Diamonds in a dew drop

Shelter in a glade.

There is laughter in a garden

As the brooks rushes by,

Warmth and happiness

Under a beautiful blue sky.

There is time in a garden

To listen to the bird’s sweet song,

Days are fair and endless

And never ever long.

You can be a Fairy Queen

Or even a warrior bold,

You can wear a petal dress

And go back to days of old.

Sheltering under a tree

From a gentle falling rain,

Living childhood dreams

That will not come again.

There are secrets in a garden

And the hearts are safe and warm

Children may play safely here

And be kept away from harm.

Imagination lives here

And dreams are kept alive

There are secrets in a garden

For a child of four or five.

There is happiness in a garden

A time of Fairy Tales,

The magic of these little folk

Never ever fails.

It helps us build our future

In very special ways

The Secrets of a garden,

Stay with us always.
