Bask in the sun, my splendid marigold

Ancient Aztec hopes are seeded in you

It’s love that makes your roots grow deep and bold

Storms may devastate before dreams unfold

After dark clouds, rays of brilliance shine through

Bask in the sun, my splendid marigold

Vibrant petals, color of burnished gold

Give thanks to the earth that nourishes you

It’s love that lets your roots grow deep and bold

Winter’s frost may come to any household

But seasons pass, golden blooms come anew

Bask in the sun, my splendid marigold

A mother’s courage, with strength untold

Tills soil, crushes rock to help you break through

It’s love that lets your roots grow deep and bold

If wandering winds fill your sails, grab hold

We’ll meet you under brush stroked skies of blue

Bask in the sun, my splendid marigold

It’s love that makes your roots grow deep and bold
