If I Were a Flower
If I were a flower, the one I’d most like to be,
is a big and beautiful Calla Lily.
I’d stand so tall, in the garden by my friends.
My bloom would stay open even when the sunshine ends.
The aroma I emit would tell all that it’s spring.
To children's faces, I’d bring a grin.
I would let everyone know that Easter is near.
Winter is something no longer to fear.
Now they have taken and done strange things with me.
I come in just about any color that you’d want to see.
I not only come in just white, as before.
Now I am purple, yellow, black and more.
I know that I don’t last very long.
My life each year is short lived, but strong.
So of my beauty you must partake in a hurry.
I’m usually here after the last snow flurry.
Well I guess it’s time for me to go now.
I’m being moved to a different place.
I think I’m going to a hospital,
to put a smile on somebody's face.
