If you've never stopped in a gardenTo rest and sink back in the glowIf you've never spent a peace-filled hourThere, then you may never know,How fine, how sweet, and wonderful a place it is to go.

Song birds perch in the morning sunAnd sing the day away.Under the roof of the azure skyTheir talents sweet display.  God gives them daily His loving care,As He also cares for me.So I shall sing and trust His handAnd ever grateful be.

This summer was a hard one.The days were hot and long, thenLocusts and grasshoppers came to town.But if you have a stout heart,If your song is bright,Circumstances fail to keep you down.Embrace the color left you,Turn your face toward God,A smile can always overcome a frown.
