Pretty Flowers

The flowers I see free my mind
Pretty flowers in a row, red and green  
Pretty flowers in the field that I find
I’ll send to a friend in a dream
If I keep seeing tulips and roses
I know my garden will come
With pansies, nosegays and lilies
I know that I have a green thumb
I’ll even plant orchids to be droll
Pretty ones that run up a pole
Pretty flowers give power to my eyes
Giving me visions of a new, better time 
Where magnolias and dahlias come to bloom
And birds of paradise are in every room
And I especially embrace yellow roses
They perk up the eyes, stir up our noses
Pretty flowers will exude love 
The flowers I see free my mind

Thanks Heidi. I was inspired by my store and all the flowers we sold.
