A Child Is a Blossoming Flower

A child is a flower blossoming from a bud
They need to be nurtured, and given plenty love.
They need food and shelter to sustain
They need comfort from their pain when
It rains.
They need words of encouragement every day
They need support and guidance along the way.
They need hugs, and kisses, and discipline too
They are a special gift, I thought you knew?
Just like a flower needs water, and sun
So do our precious dear little ones.
