Children Are Our Flowers

Children are like gentle flowers
Soft sweet and fragile
They would love to be cradled
In gentle flower petals

The sweet gentle smell that surrounds them
Formed by God to fill them with his love
With a softness that feels to children like satin
Cuddling them so tight

Protecting them as you would protect
The gentle flowers from the environment
We must protect our children
From the cruelty of the world

For our children are our flowers
We should hold them in our arms
Like soft gentle petals
For they are the future of our world
