I am a pretty flower all dressed up in blue I love the falling rain and the sunshine too
My mother is the plant She feeds me every day and keeps me looking bright so I'm happy and gay
I have some friends who come to visit me one is a lovely butterfly the other is a honey bee
I feed them with my nectar and then they fly away I tell them to come back on another day

About this poem:
I wrote this poem for my nephew's eight year old daughter to encourage her to write poetry. She has an excellent command of English at her age. Writing this made me recall some of the poems I learned at school as a child. I hope I have succeeded, at least to some extent, in capturing the innocence and joyful feeling of childhood. I also hope it would bring out the child in some of you; I would like your comments from such a perspective since this is a children's poem. Or perhaps you can share it with children, get their comments and post them. Thank you!
wonderfully sweet socrates, i think a child would adore this

The element of life intertwined in nature's law my dear friend. I used to live in the agriculture part of the world and how little for granted we take about the pollination of flowers to sustain the cycle on life. Without this base and simple act, life is not possible? as fruits and foods can't be possible.
Thanks for the joy of reading you provided on this write.

Thank you, elo, for your comment. I am glad that you enjoyed my children's poem. I think your suggestion for "A Children's Poem" challenge is great. I shall post an invitation to all poets for such a challenge. I shall state it as your challenge for those who may wish to attach a name to it since you came up with the idea. Have a marvellous day!
