Mother’s Day, Davis was born in a Notting Hill Gate flat.
He was a good baby for an American expat.
His mother, the illustrious painter, grew orchids in the bath.
They lived by selling the flowers.
She sang to him, for a future, of joy and regard.
The song, Sally Gardens, she gave him that.

Nice 55. I would like to hear the Silly Garden song.... thank you for sharing.
This is sweet, and I agree... a little celtic in her maybe.
Sounds like a lovely little flat to grow up in...certainly a haven for the creative. Sweet little piece, very warm and inviting.
Brian Yeats yes, this is a song I still sing to make nightmares go away for my teenagers.
In retrospect it is a touch sentimental. It was Mother's Day yesterday. Thank you also knightheart, Reflections, cianphelan
