International Friendship Day – 30th July

Glen from Gonville

IN LIFE’S GARDEN

Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall;

Count your days by the golden hours,
Don't remember the clouds at all.

IN LIFE’S GARDEN

Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall;

Count your days by the golden hours,
Don't remember the clouds at all.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Never when life's worries call;

And when your life has reached it’s Autumn
Count the peaks and not the falls.

Count your nights by stars, not shadows,
Count your years with smiles, not tears;

So throughout all your lifetime,
Count your age, by friends, not years.
