Forget-Me-Not

  All winter long it seemed to be dead
But it heard the Spring call, and it lifted it's head
It looked up to the sun, and it quickly grew
So glad it could bloom for someone like you

He walked along with a gallant stride
A path lined with flowers on either side
He was looking ahead, so he never knew
That he trampled a flower so pale and so blue

 All day it lay, crushed, withered and sad
Nevermore could it bloom to make someone glad
But along came a princess with a sprinkling pot
She knelt down beside the forget-me-not

So gently she raised it and propped it with care
Bound it's branches with other flowers there
Gave it plenty of water to cool each parched leaf
The fragile blue flower felt the soothing relief

 All it's life it will bloom, and each night it will pray
"Dear God, bless the princess you sent me that day
She was so kind and gentle and wore a sweet smile
Dear God, she's a Daughter I'm sure...of the Nile"
