Splendid Orchid
My Splendid Orchid do you know
How much you mean to me,
Although you live in Vietnam
Across this storm tossed sea?
I've never looked into your eyes
Nor seen your little smile,
Nor kissed your tiny fingers
As I held you for a while.
I haven't rocked you off to sleep
Nor sung your lullaby,
But know I love you flower girl
And will until I die.
Sleep well my little blossom child,
For in all this crazy world,
Your Grandpa's favorite flower is
His little orchid girl.
