Our father kept a garden A garden of the heart
He planted all good things That gave our lives a start
He turned us to the sunshine And encouraged us to dream
The seeds of what we'll be.
We are our father's garden, We are his legacy!
Each of you are part of his legacy, he will always live on in you, Hugs!
