Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Quantities are unknown,
And so are you.
Orchids are white,
Ghost ones are rare,
Margins are wavy,
And so is your hair.
Magnolia grows,
With buds like eggs,
Cheeks are pale,
And so are your legs.
Sunflowers reach,
Up to the skies,
Your world is wide,
And so are your eyes.
Foxgloves in hedges,
Surround the farms,
Skins are tanned,
And so are your arms.
Daisies are pretty,
Daffies have style,
The light is illuminating,
And so is your smile.
A rose is beautiful,
Just like you.
