along my path flowers bloom

took a moment to think

their beauty brightens my day

colors of red, yellow, and pink

 

all were different, but each alike

they are flowers as could be

unlike my family and friends

and also not like me

 

they stand only where planted

never can bend to help another

they don't send messages of love or concern

or lended a hand to a sister or brother

 

so much beauty all over this earth

can bloom in so many ways

if its hard or if its easy to see

there's a way to show the display

 

care to bloom where you're planted

the beauty of the garden called life

no matter where your path leads you each day

weed out sorrow carefully and strife

 

if its raining or sunny, pain or contentment

goodness shows to all that you meet

let the light shine through all that you do

its your voice, your hands, and your feet
