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
