She stands on the street corner
Selling flowers from her cart
Her family is poor
She helps support them
The only way she can
Nine years old
Dressed in tattered clothes
She has never been to school
Selling flowers is all she knows
She sells flowers
To those who pass by
Many have seen her
She is a regular sight
On the corner
A few have bought flowers
Many more just pass by
She sells the flowers
To better herself
To better her family
To prove
Though they are poor
They are not helpless
