Flower Vendor

 By Robert W. Cluney


On a busy corner of a city street

A splash of color and odor sweet

The flower vendor hawks his wares

He makes you feel he's one who cares

Each blossom he handles with loving care

Like the touch of a mother on her baby's hair

Each flower I see brings to my mind

This island of beauty in the big city grim.
