Life's Garden

Flower People

People are like flowers that bloom in life's garden

Some are delicate, dainty and small

While others are bold and as bright as the sunflower

That grows strong and is daring and tall.

Some people are like snowdrops that bloom in life's winter

When your garden feels barren and bare

When you need cheering up and you're really  fed up

You're so pleased that a snowdrop is there.

Other people are like poppies popping up unexpected
But not always in the right place
They are cheerful and bright and a total delight
And can  grow in the gloomiest place.

There are people like rose so pretty and fragrant
But of them you need to take care.
Just remember that roses are not always perfect
Some have thorns so you better take care.

Purple heathers are found on hillsides and moorlands
Where the ground can be harsh and so rough.
They are hardy and brave and bloom unafraid
Even though their surroundings are tough.

If you were a flower would you be a daisy
A rose or forget-me-not blue.
Or would you be a weed popping up as you please
Just what kind of flower are you!
