Of all the flowers that bask here in the
sun
You’re a one-time-special, the only one
I once took to walking around on the
street
Seeking a stranger that I’d yet to meet
But as I was out searching here for
anything new
A colorful display popped into view
The flowers arranged there in sight were
laid out in rows
Peacefully living as each of them grows
They each had a color, a hue of their own
The proof to all that can show how
they’ve grown
The thing that I thought then rings out
in my mind
“Why is it that we find it hard to be
kind?”
If we’re just like all those flowers
basking in the sun
Then does it matter who’s number 1?
That’s right because we are…
All a one-time flower that lives in its
own way
Each a different color with petals out on
display
We should do our best to see those
flowers out in view soon
If we all try we can make them all bloom
As I passed the window, I took a glance
inside
Seeing the people who couldn’t decide
But when choices are made, it matters to
none
Each bloom is pretty when placed in the
sun
And as all those people walked out of the
store
Holding the flowers that they had
searched for
The colors that gathered in one single
place
Seeing them there brought a smile to my
face
Though I didn’t know her name, she smiled
to me
Sharing some joy that was here plain to
see
Just like a flower’s seed that is laid in
the sun
In this place the bloom has begun
That’s right because we are…
All a one-time flower that lives in its
own way
Each a different color with petals out on
display
We should do our best to see those
flowers out in view soon
If we all try we can make them all bloom
Big ones or small ones, neither one is
better
Because you can’t say they’re the same when
gathered together
Of all the flowers that bask here in the
sun
