More poems about Outside the Temple

TEMPLE GARDENS
This year the temple grounds seem more radiant than before,
A mass of trimmed grass with coloured flowers galore,
Well balanced in shape and colour, a great sight to see,
Come and wander around and gaze at beauty with me.

The fountains glisten in the sun, fragrance fills the air,
Birds, bees and butterflies come this lovely garden to share,
I feel this is a glimpse of heaven now down here below.
It is hard to imagine that better blooms could grow.

The list of flowers is long that in this garden grow,
It is such a wonderful thing to see a perfect show
Of grace and beauty just there for all who come to see,
Its worth coming to the temple just in this garden to be.

Walking through the flowers sweet heaven comes your way,
A stroll that will bring gentle healing peace to long stay,
Even outside the temple wall reverence is everywhere,
As if His angels are walking with you the beauty to share.
