The Garden

A shady tree is where I sit, and ponder for a while
A passing child comes up to me, then leaves me with a smile
I listen to the singing birds, I listen to the sounds
The beauty of this garden is, there's only me around
I'm surrounded by a garden, with flowers I've never seen
The sun is smiling down on me, am I in a dream?
I see visions of my life, flash before my eyes
The things I've done, the things I've learnt, take me by surprise
The things I've never thought of, the things I've never done
Could I have been a bettr person? could I have helped someone
But I am surrounded by this beauty, and would stay here if I could
So I'll just close my eyes, and cross my legs. I must have done some good.
