Poetry for kids at heart |
The Purple Flower There once was a purple flower Who wanted a hug from day to night In the day it would follow the sun and looked at the moon at night Hoping everything would be all right A lady bug went crawling by The purple flower call out Give me a hug, you little lady bug But it just kipped crawling and slowly went away Then a bee came buzzing by Give me a hug Said the purple flower to the bee But the bee just flew away There was a caterpillar sitting on a leaf Give me a hug said the purple flower But the caterpillar, just sat there eating its lunch The purple flower looked up at a tree Will you give me a hug I'm too busy reaching for the sun The tall tree said Then one day a little girl Came out to play and picked the flowers from all around Don't pick me the purple flower yelled But no one could hear Then the girl picked the purple flower and put it with the rest Oh no! the purple flower cried out The little girl ran back home and gave all the flowers to her mom Her mother reaches down and gave the little girl a hug The purple flower sighed I got my hug The purple flower felt grand and proud Sitting in a vase, looking out the window Watching the world go by and slowly died |
