If You were A Flower If you were a flower What would your name be? The name is the essence of a thing, you see If you were a flower In a garden of love Mother Earth would cradle you In a terrestrial hug If you were a flower Straining towards the sky Stars would sparkle lovingly at you As they migrated by If you were a flower Beneath the Sun's rays Lover's would give you on Valentine's Days If you were a flower All covered with the sweet morning's dew I'd tirelessly strive to become a flower too If you were a flower And why would you not be? Your fragrance would forever endear you to me
