Every bloom is diff’rent;
That’s the power of the flower garden.
Countless points of view,
And that’s the beauty of us all!
Roses dwell with lilies;
Violets do the same.
We can grow together
When our gardens we maintain.
We all need the sunlight;
We all need the rain.
We define our purpose
When each other we sustain.
[ Optional codas ]
Flower! Power!
Lilac! Lavender!
Daisies! Dahlias!
Tulips! Zinnias!
Pansies! Peonies!
