Flowers in the Morning

Flowers in the Morning
By: Casey Allison Crumby

Flowers in the Morning are my favorite thing
To see when I wake up from a sweet sleepy dream

Flowers, flowers, here and there and everywhere
Outside my window, in my vase, and in my pretty hair

Purple ones are mostly my favorite, but I also like blue
For blue flowers remind me of my mother June

My mother June is the most beautiful mother ever
I love her more than anything and I will forever

She always puts flowers in her hair everyday
That’s why I put them in my hair, exactly her way

Her favorites were always white flowers, and she’d put them behind her ears
She said they made her happy, and chased away all her fears

Red flowers always make her want to sing to the clear blue skies
While she sits thinking in the garden, because she is very wise

My mother June always says that yellow flowers make her want to smile
Yellow flowers always make her want spring to stay for a longer while

Pink flowers are so very lovely, as my mother June likes to say
She says they remind her of beautiful things she sees from day to day

Like birds in flight, sunlight, babies laughing, and colorful winds
Fireflies, moonlight, sleeping children, and all her favorite friends

Purple flowers make her think of the sun when it goes down
And stars come out to brightly shine all over the sleeping town

Blue flowers, my mother June says, always brings her peace
She loves the serenity they offer, and the stress that they release

My mother gathers all the colors of her favorite flowers
And puts them in a vase at a very early hour

Then she tiptoes in my room so that when I wake I will see
Flowers in the morning to give me smiles and glee


But my mother, June, she never forgets to place
A few flowers in my hair and around my sleeping face

So when I wake, the petals are all around me
Around me room, everywhere I can see

I love my mother’s flowers in the morning that are always smiling back at me
I always dream about flowers in the morning that greet me so beautifully
