I ran, secure from your warm arms 

When the tree line hopped to meet the sky

When the sidewalk laughed beneath the puddle

When I jumped in my boots and tried to fly

And I ran straight home to you

When the magic went away

Tomato soup and grilled cheese warmed me through 

When you tried to mend my day

Have I told you I am happy

Have I told you free

Have I told you that you gave this gift to me, like a flower to a bee

I see the wonder all around us like I’m high above the trees

Have I told you that you gave this gift to me

At dusk in your garden 

Lying on my back, I was alone

Singing twinkle to the dancing stars

Your garden was now secretly ours

I would later wish for Wonder Bread

And bologna sandwiches instead

I shunned the harvest that you offered us

I dreamed of something less

In the end, I needed more than less

Or less of that and more of you

I manifested all the berries I once ate 

At your mother’s garden gate

And I hope you can see 

How your garden lives in me

Have I told you that you mean the earth to me 

Have I told you that I’m happy

Have I told you that I’m free

Have I told you that you gave this gift to me, like flower to a bee

I see the wonder all around us like I’m high above the trees

Have I told you that you gave this gift to me

Have I told you that you gave this gift to me

Have I told you that you gave this gift to me
