My Garden of Good Wishes

In my garden of good wishes

There is a little golden street

In every nook and corner

Where friend with friends may meet.

There's a little golden entrance

Leads unto this garden fair,

Filled with strength and hope and courage

And a little place of prayer.

May you wander in its pathways,

Find the things that are meant for you;

Fine courage to meet the future,

The strength to dare and do.

And may robes of sweet contentment

Amid treasures wrought with care

Give faith to meet new duties

In this little garden of prayer.
