A Good Day Little Flo er

Jovita O. Calixihan
A good day for a sail
Take me out to the bay There is a little flower
Come, let’s play with a pail. In my garden fair
Fill it with hay and clay. It is so cute and tender
In the morning air!
You’d rather bake a cake?
Stay home and be gay. Its color is crimson red
I’ll take a walk by the lake. In the early light
I won’t go home till it’s late. I adore from my cozy bed
Its sweet lovely sight.
The clouds are getting gray!
Sun, give out your bright rays. Oh how I wish I were
Don’t let it rain, I pray. A butterfly fair
Rain, rain, stay away! That visits this flower
From the fragrant air.
