If I could make you happy br by surrounding you with beautiful things br I'd plant for you a magnificent garden br to make your birthday as beautiful as Spring br Sunflowers as tall as you are br bright yellow petals around the brown br for you to enjoy, to bring you cheer br and never again would you frown br I'd put rows and rows of lillies br of purple, pink and yellow br where you can watch them dance in the wind br as if they were waving to you HELLO! br Marigolds and violets compliment your walk br water lillies would float in the pond br Fragrant lilacs and bleeding hearts in every hue br of which my mother was so fond br Rhododendrons and jasmine to keep you company br by the bench where you sit br so you could be admist God's beauties br as you write your poems to uplift br You can gaze all day at the roses at play br while the baby's breath follow their cue br Black-eyed Susan's and Forget-Me-Nots br because I love the color of blue br br For what your friendship means to me br my friend so thoughtful and pure br I'd wish for you the most lovely of birthdays br that through time and distance, could endure br I'd give to you what my mother has done br before this world she did part... br Created for me, the garden for all to see, br knowing it's where she has left her heart.
