Flower Box

Some folks feel better with daily walks
Or pick up the phone for long friendly talks
Others choose a favorite book & warm pair of socks
But I find my comfort in a flower box


You might like fishing out on the docks
Or camping outdoors without any clocks
Others use binoculars to spot owls & hawks
While I find my comfort in a flower box


Petunias, begonias, gladiolas, mums
I start planting and my shovel hums
Beauty, brilliance, fragrant flowers
Digging in the dirt keeps me happy for hours


Some kids keep busy with building blocks
Or pick up the crayons and colored chalks
Others like collecting things like marbles & rocks
But I found my comfort in a flower box
Now mine find their comfort in a flower box
