ONLY A WORD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Only a flower that grew awhile
Last Line: And sweeter far for you.
Subject(s): Flowers; Love


ONLY a flower that grew awhile,
By the dusty roadside there,
One thing 'mid grime, and heat, and weeds,
Fragrant, and fresh, and fair.

One word in all the fierce debate,
Tender, and kind, and true;
Dear word, my life is better now,
And sweeter far for you.
