I am a little watering can
I always stand erect
When I’m filled with water
I’m ready to direct
The liquor of the Gods
With its delirious effect
Onto a garden of doleful faces
Not one will I neglect

As I pass and bless each plant in turn
They raise their lowered head
And bathe in the attention
Of life’s gift just fed
A communion with gods
Celebrating a wondrous life led
Leaves it with a smile of gratitude
Nothing more can be said

I will give up everything I have
To ensure that your gardens grow
To sustain and bring forth new life
And many more to sow
In conjunction with my son
Life and love will flow
And continue evermore
Unconditional as you well know

My manners are impeccable
My morals beyond doubt
I have no need for handouts
I can break any drought
Although I have no given name
Many appellations they shout
I’m simply life’s apostle
Here to help you out
