Every Flower
Lavender roses last longest,
deep red have a scent of perfume,
the peach hold their colors the longest,
the white ones are largest in bloom
Yellow roses gather the sunlight,
multicolored ones mimic the dawn,
black roses glisten like midnight
with their leaves shining green as a lawn
To Nature, all people are flowers,
her palette of colors in skin,
the gift of this beauty is ours-
to love every flower as kin
