Flowers
Dave Oakes
Once upon a sadder time
When I was feeling blue
I looked upon the flowers
They were of every hue
Blue and white, yellow and red
They were beautiful to see
Such a tiny thing so overlooked
By so many in such a hurry
Touch your heart and your soul
Sending emotions out in a flurry
If we could just slow down
To something less than a blur
We would spend more time saying thanks
To the lady called Mother Nature
