Qardens and You 
By Molly Anderson Haley 
A garden's smile is a friendly smile, 
In the radiant morning sun, 
Through the blazing noon, in the dream-filled dusk 
When the tired day is done; 
What a welcome breathes from each shining leaf, 
From each blossom drenched in dew! 
A garden’s smile is a friendly smile, 
And so is the smile of YOU! 
A garden’s ways are such gracious ways, 
For a garden could not grow 
Its wealth of bloom from a selfish heart, 
Its loveliness bestow, 
Unless there were some secret springs 
Of joy on which it drew; 
A garden's ways are such gracious ways, 
And so are the ways of YOU! 
A garden’s life is a helpful life, 
For never a passerby 
Can look upon its smiling face 
Upturned to a smiling sky, 
And not discover that his heart 
Has been uplifted, too; 
A garden's life is a helpful life, 
And so is the life of YOU! 
A garden's heart is a loyal heart, 
That meets the daily test 
By keeping faith with every trust, 
And giving forth its best. 
A promise made is a promise kept 
In its code so staunch and true, 
A garden’s heart is a loyal heart, 
And so is the heart of YOU! 
A garden’s faith is a boundless faith, 
Deep-rooted, changeless, sure, 
That the sun will shine and the dews will fall 
And the twinkling stars endure, 
That back of them all is a love divine, 
As infinite as the blue; 
A garden’s faith is a boundless faith 
And so is the faith of YOU!
