Flowers Beautify Our Lives



Hydrangeas and Daffodils
lift hearts without restraint
Flowers beautify our lives
with splendor, tinge and paint

Larkspurs and Gardenias
waft fragrance in our space
Flowers beautify our lives
with splendor, scent and grace

Marigolds and Buttercups
see many states well known
Flowers beautify our lives
with splendor, vibe and tone

Dahlias and Delphiniums
meet needs of spirit change
Flowers beautify our lives
with splendor, size and range

Sunflowers and Hyacinths
grant cheer for every stripe
Flowers beautify our lives
with splendor, class and type

Lilacs and Forget-me-nots
prove whether trust is real
Flowers beautify our lives
with splendor, hint and feel
