{The Garden of Earthly Delights}
In the garden of earthly delights
The yellow roses grow wild and free
Unattended they flourish bright spring sunlight
Petals strewn by the wind in gay reverie
In profusion they sing to the clouds above
Though nothing compares to the single rose
Brought to me on the wings of love
by the lover of mine who providence chose
In the garden of earthly delights
Ribbons of remembrance gaily flutter
A heartland rich with heavenly scent
Encircling the words we once feared to utter
Liberation is ours if we only embraced it
The way to the heart is open and fair
A mending of minds if only we faced it
The cure for all evils is kindness and care
