If Ruth were a flower,
I'd care for her each day.
I'd water and fertilize her,
and keep the pests away.
I'd give her all the sunshine
a flowering beauty needs,
and when winter cometh,
I'd be sure to collect the seeds.
Because Ruth is a winner
in every flower or poem show,
and we could use more like her
to help our low spirits to glow.
