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

Thanks TONY ~ In some Countries you see lots of TULIP GIRLS who should be in JUNIOR HIGH having fun ~ but are old before they are young and trsying to keep their Family & Body and Soul together ! I always buy something and pay ten tomes what they ask because its all I can do. Maybe we are all getting ripped off by the "Evil One" but if I can help somebody as I pas along then my living has not been in vain. My motto always is DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY ~ Blessings BRIAN
