Flower bright how are you
On this early morn?
Opening petals as to greet me,
Do you feel forlorn?
Are you lonely, ever waiting
For hummingbirds and bees?
Do you notice me approaching
Falling down upon my knees?
How refreshed do you feel
With the morning dew?
Does the sun bring you gladness
Shining down on you?
Do you know of your beauty?
Do you feel vain?
Or are you humble, meek and modest
Feeling sorrow and in pain?
If you find you’re unhappy
And you’re feeling sad
Know that I find you lovely
Your beauty makes me glad.
I can see from your petals
As they open wide
Your love and care for the world
You should be filled with pride.
Your scent’s appealing, your color vibrant
You brighten up my day
Don’t you worry, the birds and bees
Will soon be by to play.
