FRIENDSHIP THOUGHTS

FRIENDSHIP THOUGHTS.

Talk to me of friendship

And special love and care

Tell me of the laughter

And the good times we can share.

Let me hear you whisper 

That you are here for me

That you will walk beside me

When the path I cannot see.

Sing to me of companionship

And the warmth that friendship brings

Let me walk beside you

Let our love take wings.

Comfort me when I am sad

And call me on the phone

Let me feel your very presence

So I know I'm not alone.,

Hear my many worries

And my feeble call

Let me know that you will be there

To lift me when I fall.

Please know that I value you

And all you say and do.,

How very much I cherish

Your special friendship true.

Listen to my secrets

And neither laugh nor scold

Promise me that we'll be together

When we are very old.

We'll watch the sun go down together

And remember our youthful days

We will cherish our special friendship

And the joy it brought to our days.

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.
