I sit out side the garden gate
Wondering how long I will have to wait
To find a love worthy of mine
Who'll patiently win this heart, in time.
Pondering in silence fighting the tears
Wagering in my mind-counting the years.

I eagerly anticipate stepping inside
To another heart thats open and kind
Waiting to bloom, wanting to grow
displaying the colors, also eager to know
The feelings of freedom that a love brings
To dance to the music my heart glady sings

I sit at the garden gate like a child
A heart full of innocence ready for the wild
Feeling the warm earth between all my toes
Loving lifes highs-embracing its lows
I feel it calling-waiting for me
But I have to wonder who my true love will be.

Venture forth, and walk a bit
and leave the gate behind
'tis true that you will limit views
and make it hard to find.

I know that flowers have no feet
but tender plucked will die
Peer around the cottage fence
venture forth, say hi.
