Flower Child
A flower child I am, so free and wild
With flowers behind my ear, my heart beguiled
They bloom around me, in colors so bright
Bringing joy and beauty, like a magical sight
Flowers grace my home on special occasions
Their vibrant presence, a decor for celebrations
Foraged in every season, their essence I adore
Even when not in bloom, my spirit they restore
Frangipanis are my favorite in the summer sun
Their sweet scent and petals, a true love I've won
Bougainvilleas in winter, their vibrant hues unfold
Their fiery blooms bring warmth in the cold
In the monsoon, flowers may be few and far between
But on lucky days, alamandas fall, a golden sheen
Their radiant yellow, a symbol of luck and cheer
A sign that nature's beauty is always near
They bring me happiness, fill my heart with love
Their delicate fragrance, like a gift from above
A tree adorned with bougainvilleas, a show for you to see
A shrub of raat rani, a sweet surprise just for thee
My children, they know the way to my heart
Picking fallen flowers, a good start
A gesture so simple, yet filled with love and care
As a flower child, their affection I share
So I'll continue to dance among the blooms so fair
A flower child, with flowers in my hair
In every season, their beauty I'll embrace
For flowers bring joy and love, in every place
