If I were a flower
What would I be
That takes some thought
For there All inside of me

If I were feeling the weight of the world
A Snow Fountain Cherry
For each limb on its tree hangs
To the ground in full bloom
But inner strength it does carry

If I were in the mood to get things done
It would have to be Bold Painted Daisies
There colors are so vibrant
They never seem lazy

If you hurt me and did me wrong
I guess a Rose I'd have to be
So you couldn't hold me close
But from afar you would long

In lifes story I'd be
Jacknmanii Clematis with vigorous vines
Deep purple blooms that survive
Any climate, infact actually thrive

But a bouguet of wild flowers is the true me
Simple yet hardy, no thorns to prick
Hating lifes games
And people's tricks

           Thank You

I liked this!!!  It's a different way of looking at flowers. . .
