Pussy Willows

Author Unknown

There are willow pussies
Clad in furry goods,
And a robin singing
In the maple woods.
There's a springing crocus,
And a budding larch,
Who'd ever think the Springtime
Came along in March.

Flowers

Flower, flower grow for me,
Become a flower from a seed,
Grow your roots and a stem,
Let the water come right in.

Flower, flower you are true,
You make me happy when I am blue,
You became a flower from a seed,
You did all that just for me.
