Arlene Binner Poet Lyric

You Left Me a Garden

You left me a garden,
To remember you by,
Filled with beautiful flowers,
The Spring before you died.

But those beautiful flowers,
Could never compare,
With the memories I treasure,
So beautiful and so rare,

Of a love and a friendship, 
That never will die,
Even though, for a while,
We had to say goodbye.
