Poem ‘Life is a Garden’

Life  is  a   garden,

Good  friends  are  the  flowers,

And  time  spent  together,

Life’s  happiest  hours;

And  friendship,  like  flowers,

Blooms  ever  more  fair,

When  carefully  tended

By  dear  friends  who care;

And  life’s  lovely  garden

Would  be  sweeter  by far

If  all  who  passed  through it

Were  as  nice  as  you  are.

Poem by Helen Steiner Rice
