I planted a garden within my heart
And tended it with care,
And now, so many happy thoughts
I find, are blooming there.
First there's a row of sunny smiles,
And in between a kiss,
And in my garden now I find,
There's love and happiness.
O golden sunshine ever bright
Helps kindly deeds to grow
And special seeds of friendliness
Are all the kind I sow.
The rain is only silver threads,
And every smile's a rose
That never wilts and never dies,
But grows and grows and grows.
So keep the garden within my heart
A very special one.
O pluck the weeds of hate and scorn
And plant a row of fun.
A seed of joy and a seed of love
And a kindly thought each day,
Always enough so that I might have
A part to give away.
So that every flower I choose to pick
Will blossom from the start
And make me proud of the things I grow
In the garden of my heart.
