The Flowers In My Garden of Life

I grew a garden long ago
Watched it bloom and prosper
A bed of beauty for which I cared
Watered and fed with my devotion
This garden is in the field of my life
It grows with the loved ones I hold dear
Planted with highest adoration
Nurtured by all the love I have in me
Each person a flower rare and distinct
One of a kind and equally special
I'll always have this beautiful garden
And the lovely blooms in rich soil growing
