Choose your words like flowers
Found on a woodland walk;
Use pastels just for color
In the fields, of talk.

Their petals, soft and gentle
Their hearts, so bright and wide;
Still holding all their fragrance,
Most delicate, inside.

Choose your words like flowers
Picked on some sunny day,
And you'll never lack for friends,
Whatever weathers say.
