The Garden In My Mind
When the winds blow cold and bleak
And the snow is white and deep
There's a warm place I can find
In the garden of my mind
In this garden in my mind
Grows the lovely columbine
Pansies, phlox and bluebells grow
Blocking dreary thoughts of snow
I have a yellow rose tree
A bed of tulips red
A host of golden daffodils
Growing near my shed
The buttercups and daisies
Are sprouting on the lawn
And somewhere in the shady dell
There sleeps a tiny fawn
I cultivate the lettuce
Tomatoes and the corn
And tiny sparrows greet me
In the sunrise of the morn
The cherry blossoms overhead
Rain down their charms on me
And I think of all the lovely fruit
That soon will come to be
The sun shines on the garden
That grows inside my head
And clears away the dreary thoughts
Of winter months ahead
