Tulip Girl
There she stands on the street corner
Selling tulips from her cart
Her family is poor
So she helps to support
The only way that she can
Nine years old
Dressed in tatered worn clothes
She has never been to school
Selling flowers is all she knows
She sells the flowers
To those who pass by
Many have sean her
She is a regular sight upon the corner
A few have bought flowers
Many more just pass by
Not even with a glance her way
She sells the flowers
To better herself
To better her family
To prove
Though they are poor
They are not helpless
