The Flowers Add Zest
God created the Earth
And stood back to see.
What more did it need-
Maybe some green trees?
It needed more color
To make it look its best,
So he created all the flowers
Just to add a little zest.
Roses, violets, and lilies of the valley,
Snapdragons, azaleas, poinsettias, and dahlias,
Chrysanthemums, marigolds, zinnias and fern.
I cannot name them all, now it’s your turn!
The flowers added color,
And lots of zest.
Now, Earth was beautiful-
It had passed the test!
