He planted baby seeds along the fence
and when summer arrived with her sunny face
dad was rewarded with beautiful morning glories,
that was his recompense;
I was his shadow girl I followed him everywhere
so when he whispered in my ear, come morning they will bloom
I replied with a smile,
I will, I will dad, I'll catch their glorious bloom, I will
at 6 am I awoke to find the patient sun
dangling in a fresh born sky, above the purple morning glories
yesterday a closed up bud, today an open faced flower
dad was right, one must be quick to catch the hour
Up to heaven now he's gone but oh how summers shone
for dad and I when I was six, back in 1966
he raised me like the flowers, with love and tender care
he was an Italian gardener, with a heart of purest gold.
