| Enchanted Garden
Written by Shirley Barr |
|
| Misty shades of pink and chartreuse
Peek out among the web of vines in view. Hidden in the greenery are treasures to find. Little garden helpers, statues of all kinds. |
|
| The entrance to this garden is almost hidden away.
Follow the maze of paths, that sometimes leads through gates With a surprize around every corner, oh such beauties rare. Roses of all species from the bushes and climbers there. |
|
| There are ferns upon ferns, ivies and hosta too.
Watch around every bend they'll be a surprize for you. Azaleas in all colors you can imagian, grow so neat. You feel as though you are in a magical place so sweet. |
|
| All the many fragrances permeate the air all around,
And you wonder to yourself, Is this an Enchanted Garden I have found? Along the way nestled between two trees, |
| You find a place to rest, an ornate garden bench,
To sit and reflect how you are blessed. The gentle breeze rustles the foliage upon the majestic trees, While sunbeams are filtered down through the leaves. |
|
|
| There still remains the moist dew drops overhead
As the wind blows gently, they rain down on the garden bed. What a place of beauty God has created for you to enjoy. It makes you thankful that you are there and so much more. |
|
| The Garden of Eden may have resembled this place,
Until disobedience changed the views, leaving disgrace. I wish I could stay all day, And take in every treasure. |
|
| Of all the beauties I behold and try to measure.
How beautiful Heaven must be for all of us that go, Because this Enchanted Garden Is the closest thing I know. |

|
| Genesis 2, parts of verses 8, 9, 10.
And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden. |
