Not just a another pretty flower
although a pretty flower you are
Colors galore and still there’s more
you can doctor a cold, a sore or a scar
make into tea and help with a swell
Keeping America’s First People hale
four hundred years of medicinal juices
Your petals help to make folks well
to this day people say Echinacea please
especially when they have a big sneeze
Echinacea with your many gifts an antioxidant with immune enhancing benefits abundant from tummy aches to bites from snakes – in theory – what a magical flower you are
