Volunteer Lantana That Grew Behind Our Fence

Flower’s Power

Can you imagine what it would be like,

if everyone knew the power of flowers,

to renew, encourage and excite?

To greet us in the morning sun,

with their cheerful faces open bright.

and their alluring fragrance spreading,

all day into the evening half-light?

Both a joy to see and smell,

while providing for the great and small.

Insects flourish from the nectar and pollen,

while hummingbirds hover above all.

If you see a wildflower where it shouldn't,

think twice before you cut it down.

For wildflowers are just like all the others,

serving all nature without a frown.
