Yonder in the forest where the brook runs blue, <br /> Is the fragrant land of flowers of every shade and hue. <br /> <br /> The peaceful pond that beckons and shimmers in the sun, <br /> With all the frogs in concert when the day is done. <br /> <br /> In this shady valley where scented breezes blow, <br /> A land of waltzing flowers is dancing to and fro. <br /> <br /> Where butterflies are flitting and bees are buzzing 'round, <br /> And hummingbirds are humming, it's a pleasant sound. <br /> <br /> Those happy days of summer beneath those branchy bowers, <br /> This peaceful place of beauty in the valley of the flowers. <br /> <br /> Where waterbirds are swimming and song birds sing all day, <br /> It fills your heart with gladness and makes you feel so gay. <br /> <br /> There really is no other place that I'd rather be, <br /> And feel the summer sun a-beating down on me. <br /> <br /> In this land of bluebirds, all of this and more, <br /> Where the rolling ripples kiss the sandy shore.<br /><br />Carroll R.
