White Passion

In a Garden
By Bess A. Fountain

I walked with God in a garden...
It was near the close of day.
We walked among the flowers,
Along a narrow way.

I walked with God in a garden...
The air was fresh and cool.
I felt his step beside mine,
Down by a lily pool.

I walked with God in a garden...
The season was early spring.
I saw the young leaves glisten.
I heard a robin sing.

I walked with God in a garden...
Though my body was not quite whole.
I shall never forget the feeling
Of peace within my soul.
