Flowers by the roadside, rainbow coloured, new,

Sparkling with reflections in the early morning dew,

Grown to be attractive, then cut down in their prime,

A summers' blossom wilting, too long before it's time,

On the pavement, in the hedgerow, perched up in the grass,

A multi-coloured milestone for those of us that pass,

Their beauty often lost in the haste of the day,

I hope there'll be no more flowers, by the roadside, on my way.
