Green Leaves Aren't My Desire

I have a pot of green leaves

They're from geraniums

But wonder, wonder, wonder

If flowers will ever come

The ones I planted last year

Survived the winter's frost

This Spring they looked quite pitiful

I thought that they were lost

Yet now they're sprouting pink blooms

The others put to shame

I should have bought them from our Lou

It's only me to blame.
