Dogwood

Grover. C. Rasnick

Free verse
Virginia flowers I know you well, your home is in the woods. I see your bloom in April, I see your flowers in May. I see your decoration  many miles away.
I can see you in the mountain tops, I see you in all the woods. I will tell you its name, the Virginia dogwood.
We welcome you in spring time, your flowers you will grow, Mr. Robin in the fall, when your berries are red and glow.
Dogwood tree I will never cut you down. May you bloom forever in the hills all around. Welcome to Virginia in spring and you will see The many flowers on the dogwood tree
