Oh How I Wish...

Just sort of thought this up while I was drawing a flower.

Oh, how I wish I were a flower,

to which type I do not care.

Oh, for all the beings on this world,

and though I may wilt and wither,

it is a flower I wish to be.

Oh, how I wish I were a flower,

perhaps a sunflower,

always looking on the bright side.

Or a rose,

with a thick skin,

and a pensive demeanor.

I could try being a daisy,

common, innocent goodness.

Maybe I could be a tulip,

and you run through me,

just like Tiny Tim said.

I could try being a honeysuckle,

sweet as could be,

though short lived that flavor may be.

Oh, how I wish I were a flower,

to which type I do not care.

Oh, for all the beings in this world,

and though I may wilt and wither,

it is a flower I wish to be.
