If Ruth were a flower, <br />I'd care for her each day. <br />I'd water and fertilize her, <br />and keep the pests away. <br /> <br />I'd give her all the sunshine <br />a flowering beauty needs, <br />and when winter cometh, <br />I'd be sure to collect the seeds. <br /> <br />Because Ruth is a winner <br />in every flower or poem show, <br />and we could use more like her <br />to help our low spirits to glow. <br /> <br />(Sept.27,2014)<br /><br />Bri Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-ruth-were-a-flower-ruth-walters-ph-member-love-and-caring-too-cute-short/
