                 CHILDREN'S GARDEN

   How lovely to have a garden,
   to sit under your favorite tree,
   inhaling the scent of blossoms,
   a book upon your knee. 

   feeling the grass below you,
   the blades between your toes,
   How lovely to have a garden,
   a treasure, like a rose.

THE MULBERRY TREEHOUSE 

Up in my tree, 
I sit and dream 
a sunny day goes by... 
a rope attached, 
from there I swing, 
pretending I can fly. 
many battles, 
fought.. 
I've won 
while sitting up so high... 
climb up my rope, 
the world feels safe.. 
dont be afraid to try.. 
this mulberry tree, 
as it did me, 
can help you touch the sky.

       LEMON TREE
 
The largest lemons
on the smallest tree
fresh lemonade
for you and me..
 
It's better made
by little hands.
It is the stuff
of lemonade stands.
