Flowers 

by Marc Mangel

Flowers are our silent partner in life

always there to lend some joy when we really

need it

and yellow flowers, well they are our sunshine

surely you remember the song:

(with vigor) “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,

“You make me happy when skies are gray”

well I know that between each sunshine is a bit of gray

but we have

our flowers

our perpetual sunshine

to keep us smiling in this world.
