A Gift of Flowers

Wild Flowers


I want to give you flowers,

not in baskets and bouquets,

not cut and dried in vases,

not wrapped in green wax papers

or pinned into corsage;

I want to give you flowers,

a hillside full of flowers

where all our someday babies

can run and laugh and play

among the wild flowers

I give to you today.
