Flower Teachers
By Don

So much we learn
in life from flowers,
Brave perky daffodils,
always first,
say get an early start in life,
Frisky painted daisies,
dancing happily
in the mid-morning sunlight,
assure us loyal love and innocence,
Our wise iris friend
quietly fills us with hope,
when we most need it,
Sweet young honeysuckle
drip happiness
onto our troubled day,
The primrose along our path
reminds us we are never really alone in life,
Pay heed to our floral teachers,
Life's secrets they hold.
