Here's something new you need to know
In gardens funny flowers grow
Buttercups, dots, shiny yellow
Won't spoil green lawn, make a meadow
Dandlions are soup, not weeds
Every plant can fulfil needs
Giant sunflowers, from small seeds
Shoots grow fruit, apples will feed
Tiny daises, giant roses
Pick the flowers, present posies
You can pick them, have no fear
Cut them down, then more appear
\
In winter time they disappear
But they come back again next year.
Cheer the elderly or ill
Tall orchids on the windowsill
Some flowers exude sweet perfume
\Which wafts across to fill the room
Helps you relax and breathe in deep
Flowers grow while you're asleep
They seek the sunlight, lean drunk in rain
A second season, can't complain
Dead head those you think are dead
The bulbs next season flower again
Where do autumn flowers go?
In winter time they hide from snow
All wise five-year-olds soon know
Next spring more bright blooms will grow
Some are red and some are white
Some fold up to sleep at night
Ltft up joyfully in daylight
Promise all will be all right.
Flowers last a week or two
But when they fade, don't feel blue
It's not the fault of me and you
That is just what flowers do
Flowers rise and flowers fall
Climb keen to cover broken walls
Every colour gives a silent call
I love each one, I love them all.
