The Gentle Gardener
I’d like to leave but daffodills to mark my little way,
To leave but tulips red and white behind me as I stray;
I’d like to pass away from earth and feel I’d left behind
But roses and forget-me-nots for all who come to find.
I’d like to sow the barren spots with all the flowers of earth,
To leave a path where those who come should find but gentle mirth;
And when at last I’m called upon
to join the heavenly throng
I’d like to feel along my way
I’d left no sign of wrong.
And yet the cares are many and the hours of toil are few; There is not time enough on earth for all I’d like to do;
But, having lived and having toiled, I’d like the world to find Some little touch of beauty that my soul had left behind

There is a train waiting at the station with a seat reserved just for me I’m excited about its destination as I’ve heard it sets you free
The trials and tribulations, the pain and stress we breathe
Don’t exist where I am going, only happiness, I believe.
So I hope that you will be there to wish me on my way
But it’s not a journey you can join in, it is not your time today. There’ll be many destinations, some are happy, some are sad
Each one’s a brief reminder of the great times that we’ve had. Many friends I’ve known will be waiting, those who took an earlier train Shall be there to greet and reassure me that nothing has really changed There we’ll take some time together to catch up on the past
And to build a new beginning ~ one that will always last.
Then one day you’ll take your own journey, on the train, just like me And I promise that I’ll be there, waiting at the station and you will see That life is just a journey enriched by those you meet
No one can take that from you, it is always yours to keep.
But for now, no seats are vacant, so you will have to muddle through In the meantime fulfil your ambitions, as you know I’ll be watching you. So don’t be sad to wave me off today, it’s only for a while
Let the steam rise high into the sky, as I ride off with a happy smile.
