July 2005 Theme ~ "In Celebration of Friendship"

Our theme for July's Birthday Bash was "In Celebration of Friendship ~ The Garden's 5th Birthday"

Congratulations to our July winners!

~ A Celebration of Friendship ~

There's a birthday in the Garden
it's time to celebrate
A union of the friendships
together that we make ~
And so in loving tribute
of five years heart to heart
Let us celebrate the friends
who love us as we are.

Days made so much brighter
with special friends to share
A sprinkling of their beauty
and tender loving care ~
An honour to be part of
the never-ending cheer
And circle of this friendship
that grows each passing year.

A birthday in the Garden
by shimmering moonlight
Hand in hand together
we're gathered in deelight ~
A celebration of five years
of friendship bound in part,
Together over land and sea
a union of each heart.

Happy 5th Birthday, My Garden

Growing together in friendship
Having someone to depend on
Caring tenderly for each other
Kindness shown from dusk 'til dawn
Not being afraid to share our feelings
Aware no one will pick our words apart
Always open-minded and accepting
Friend's forgiveness soothes the aching heart

As your life changes daily
And you are ready to learn and grow
Your friends inside this garden
Give and share everything they know
Happy times so nicely noted
These pages all designed with care
Filled with poems and gifts galore
Made 4 friends to share
Best in my heart now is everyday and
Friendship to last I pray

In Celebration of Friendship ~ The Garden's 5th Birthday

Some gardens bloom with roses red
Some bloom with cherry blossoms,
Some plants have roots that go so deep
Some gardens are forgotten.

This garden's ripe with friends so close
And people warm and good
And I would stay here all day long
If only that I could.

Although I'm called away at times,
It's always in my heart
A garden filled with friends so true
Is rare like precious art.

It's our love that keeps it strong
It's our friendships too
May the blossoms grow for years and years
GOF, Happy Birthday to you!
