The Flower On The Sidewalk

The flower on the sidewalk,
It stands there quite strong
Its leaves, petals and stalk
have never gone wrong

But one day it happened,
Yes really, it did
The leaves, they blackened
The petals, not vivid

Now, this happened because of one tiny child,
So tiny and small, so active and wild
This child, although they made a mistake
knew they hurt this flower, and were quite sedate

They scooped up this flower,
And then took it home
without needing to cower
As flexible as foam,

They dug a great hole, made it quite deep,
And replanted the flower
Not needing to weep

They sat there for hours
Willing it to grow
And as if with powers,
That nobody knows…

The flower, it grew,
So that goes to show,
All People can make a difference,
And that’s good to know
