The Turquoise Garden

The Turquoise Garden I dream of a magical garden That lays beneath a turquoise sea It’s filled with seashells and cockles And sand the color of honeybees The coral is the shade of pink roses The grass is emerald green Rocks and sea urchins cover the floor The shy octopus is unseen It’s home to fish in orange clown suits Angels without their harps trumpetfish without their trumpets And lions without their manes The seahorses and sea dragons join the jellyfish and shrimp In games of tag and hide and seek In the tunnels of secret caves Pretty mermaids with their tails of gold and locks of crimson red Gather delicate pearls they find In the garden’s oyster beds It’s a magical place that I dream of Filled with the creatures of the deep And I hope someday I’ll find my way To the garden in the turquoise sea
