I Thought Of You
I walked in the garden
of my thoughts today,
And as I passed the roses
I thought of you,
And all those whose lives
have been blessed
With your roses, fresh cut and fragrant.
I walked in the garden
of my thoughts today.
Down to where the grapes hang
thick and sweet,
And I thought of you.
How you treasure the sweetness
of God’s bounty
And how you freely share it
with others.
I walked in the garden of
my thoughts today,
And I thought of you.
