Story behind the song

A song written from my memories of a man that cared for his beautiful flowers everyday, as I passed him on my way to work.

Lyrics

The Old Mans Flowers
© Letha Allen 2008

From a chair beside the road
The old man would wave 
In his garden he would hoe
His flowers everyday
And everyday I’d wave
My heart would fill with peace
To see the beautiful flowers
He grew for all to see

Well his hands were old and worn
But he never failed a smile
Till the day his chair was gone
His flowers stood alone
And oh my heart was sad
A tear came to my eye
I said, who will tend his flowers
They will surely die

Chorus
Beautiful flowers
From a tiny seed
Planted with love
So beautiful to see

Now the old man
He is gone 
But his flowers still live on
His children take his place
You see his flowers never fade

Tho the old man,
He is gone
His flowers will live on
His children take his place
To see his flowers never fade

No the old mans flowers never fade…
