The hollyhocks say...

A poetic response to the short story,"The sound of the hollyhocks"by Hugh Garner

The hollyhocks say...

The hollyhocks say that life is like a big wide sea,

Sometimes calm and sometimes rough.

But we shall never give up,

There will always be a light of hope

That shall guide you through your way.

The hollyhocks say that life is rough,

People could be rude and things could get tough.

We shouldn't  get frustrated,

Because if you try,

Things could go right.

Now look at the world around you,

It might be noisy and annoying,

But there's always a place,

Where you shall keep calm.
