I walked through a garden, where nature had overgrown

Leaving flowers everywhere, all to be shown

Ivy and leaves and insects too

Growing and thriving, some of them new

The sun shined in the sky, revealing more to be seen

What a beautiful, lovely, glorious, scene

I bent down to look at a bumblebee

God revealing so much beauty to me

I watched a bug, though I did not know its name

But it was neat, all the same

Oh, what wonder I did find

In the garden where I left busyness behind

In the quiet with nature, I walked

Seeing Gods creation is something to be sought

So many colors kissed the ground below

Blooming and thriving, getting ready to grow

Time had come, so from the garden I left behind

Though it was more than flowers that I did find

I found my solitude in the beauty He had shown

In the garden so beautifully, overgrown
