Memory Garden

A blackbird sang its late sweet song
As dusk began to fall
And outside in the garden
I thought I heard you call
The garden was your pride and joy
Created just for me
So it wouldn't be surprising
It is here you'd want to be

The perfume of the roses
Hangs sweetly in the air
The petals fall so gently
And scatter everywhere
Roses are a symbol
Of love that's pure and true
So when the roses bloom
I'll always think of you

Lilies as white as snowflakes
You cherish them so much
And now my heart is aching
As I miss your loving touch
They remind me of the day
We were joined in wedded bliss
Lilies in my bouquet
And the magic of your kiss

Honeysuckle grows...
The common hedgerow kind
It has the sweetest scent
Leaves a memory behind
I recall the times spent
Here on tranquil summer days
Wondrous days we shared
Until we went our seperate ways

Flowers in the garden
Blooming everywhere
Reminding me of lost love
And grief that's hard to bear
In the centre of it all stands
A weeping willow tree
It seems to share my mood
As it sheds its tears for me

Somewhere another garden
I'm sure that you now tend
And in the one you left behind
I pray my heart will mend
So until we meet again
Here me whisper dear goodnight
You left our lovely garden
When God called you to the Light
