A Friendly Flower
A flower once lay upon the grass
 Loved by all, hated by none
 Flowed in the wind everyday
 One day it started to come out
 Further and further each day
 One day a girl was walking by
 She was having a bad day
 She was mad and angry
 She wanted revenge
 Not on the flower, by on life
 She plucked the flower from the grass
 She threw it in the road
 She marched away feeling slightly better
 The flower was dying, alone with no one
 With all the people who loved it, no one would save it
 But one child, just a baby
 Crawled away from its guardian
 Not too far
 It picked up the flower 
 And put it back in its whole
 Planted it back in, and crawled back to its guardian
 The baby had no idea that it needed the help, the flower
 But it saw something out of place and wanted to help
 We should all be more like the baby and less like the little girl
