If you could dress like the flowers, <br />You surely would look like royalty. <br />Out in the wild, <br />Or on a window sill, <br />Or anywhere, <br />Brightening up the world. <br />Where do flowers shop for their clothes, <br />At Macy's, In Beverly Hills, surely not at Wal-mart. <br />Do they pay cash, use their debit cards, or do they charge it. <br />What magnificent attire they do sport. <br />Nobody but nobody dresses like them. <br />Not movie stars, or even those has been Kardashians. <br />No designer has ever been born, <br />That can create their look. <br />Elsa Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, Roy Halston Frowick, Calvin Klein, <br />Paupers, imitators, fakes, frauds, great charlatans. <br />Not worthy to be mentioned in the same breath, <br />As the creator of the raiment of the flowers. <br />They have no money, <br />Yet they are rich. <br />They don't care about being noticed, <br />Yet that is an impossibility. <br />They have no egos, <br />All they do, is brighten our lives. <br /> <br />2/1/12 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-could-dress-like-the-flowers/
