Little Flower
 
 
 

           Little Flower so sweet and small
           the prettiest flower of them all;
             You stand there so helpless
                   Sun on your head
     Why are you wishing that you were dead?

                You lift your small stem
                   And scan the sky,
                   Rain starts to fall
                    Making you cry.

                "Why did they pick me;
                  I'm not fully grown
                To tear me and cut me
                 And take me home."

               Little Flower thrown out
                    With the trash;
                 Alone and forgotten
               walked on and smashed.
