As a little child I felt so happy and free
Whilst I was visiting my friend's place!
Mum and dad were working there about
Picking fruit and helping out!
I was small enough to run and play!
I loved to watch the butterflies!
Huge Wanderers were everywhere
Alighting upon the Lantana's tiny flowers
All around that enchanted garden;
Right there; in front of my very eyes!
I got to play with Roslyn, Jenny and Nancy
It was their precious home I fancied for my own!
They had a huge veranda; there we played
Near the orange trees!
I can still picture it in my mind:
The sprinklers beating out their tattoo
Upon those leaves; in those shadows!
All these pictures in the back of my mind
Precious memories there; I find!
