I Wish I Were a Flower

By Completely Lost •

I wish i were a flower Just sitting in the dirt One that needed pruning and fixing; trimming and grooming I could just sit there in the dirt and you could mold me Just like you wish you could do now Then i would be beautiful I wish i were the tree you planted I would start out small and grow each day! Sort of like i did as a child Except, if i were the tree you planted, maybe you would notice You would exclaim each day how much taller i am You would notice every change of color Instead i am you daughter Just a plain old daughter I mean what's a daughter compared to a flower or a tree? I wish i were a flower Just sitting there in dirt Maybe you would notice me then

Excellent! I love the words and the description of it all. Oh and just so you know, a daughter is MUCH more important than a flower or tree. Although, at times, it may not seem like it.

I LOVE THE SYMBOLISM....I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND I AGREE THAT A DAUGHTER IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN A FLOWER OR A TREE
