Gathered from life's garden
The scents of petals soft
Filled with fragrant perfume
The essence that will waft

Beauty that surrounds you
Know that it is there
For every petal falling
With love now be aware

Life it then will lift you
To places that console
Dream of new tomorrow's
Will always ease your soul

Quiet times reflecting
With peace that nature shares
The glory of new morning
The flowers you will wear

Upon your feet a blanket
Of silk that beckons you
To feel the joy awaken
In steps you take anew

Within your heart this garden
Your soul now takes you there
Close your eyes in wonder
Abundantly now share.
