Flowers For Mother
Everyone's buying flowers for mother,
It's her day so why not,
She cherishes them one and another,
It's the gift that counts
Such blessings, buying flowers for mother,
Petal by petal she admires them all,
There's never enough beauty to court her,
She deserves so much more;
This one, that one, and this other,
Peonies are bright and bold,
The world over is, buying flowers for mother.
