Father, you and I

 Poppa you are so sweet

As a Genie granting me all my wishes!

And yet sometimes when I flounder

You strictly admonish,

Strictly chastise

So that I may know where

To rest my heart of reason!

Your pragmatism calls to me

And in the night with my head on the pillow

I wish for you and I, our hearts, to join

And your tongue to utter words

That I may carry on into eternity

In my memory

So that later someday I can write songs

Of you and I.
