From the garden of my heart, not ordinary blooms...

To fill whatever empty vases you might have in your rooms.

One stem standing taller than the others ... this is love.

Do you see the velvety one to caress you like a glove?

That one? Oh, that's just to show how much I care;

It's very bright ... like sunshine ... to banish despair.

I wanted to send hope ... please add water everyday ...

Funny how that one is so perky and keeps the tears at bay.

There's one with many clusters ... you could put it in your hair;

Had to send that to remind you, you're always in my prayers.

Should they start to wilt a bit, just whisper ... they'll hear.

And I'll find a petal and I'll know you know I'm near.

You may find it fanciful that I wear my heart upon my sleeve,

But all things are possible if only you believe.

Ah, you see it now, the one called faith ... carefully I grew.

This one I gladly share. Even when neglegcted, it doesn't die, but will renew!

From the garden of my heart, not ordinary blooms ...

To fill whatever empty vases you might have in your rooms.
