In a garden full of flowers and vines,
There stood a trellis, tall and fine,
With roses climbing up so high,
Their beauty reached up to the sky.

A valance made of fabric bright,
Draped across the trellis just right,
Adding a touch of color and grace,
To this special garden space.

The truss, strong and sturdy too,
Held the trellis up for all to view,
While children walked upon the tread,
Gazing up at the roses red.

With turpentine, the trim was painted,
Brightening up this scene enchanted,
The garden now a sight to see,
A wonderland of beauty and glee.

So come and walk upon the tread,
Gaze up at the roses overhead,
And enjoy the sight that you will see,
In this special garden so lovely.
