Where the Flowers Grow

Where the flowers grow In the land Where the magnolias bloom And the pines stand And the oaks stand grand This is my land By the river that runs to the sea This is where I want to be River boats that float along The shore And barges beneath the bridge float On down the river deep Where the flowers grow And gardens of vegetables too And ripened in the morning And kissed by the dew This thing called life Is beauty exists And I want To recall As I think of this And the beautiful flowers The rivers that flow The streams The magnolias, pines and oaks It’s where I want to stay In a place called home © Copyright 2004 Betty L.
