Wayside Flower

Oh little flower growing on the wayside

Dancing with petals ever so bright

How you shine in the day long sun

And sleep gently when the day is done


You never notice the crowd that passes you by

For your thoughts reach for heaven’s sky!

For it you dance, in it joy you’ve found

Although you may be earthly bound


Oh little wayside flower, gentle and meek

Yet striving in beauty that which you seek

Little you know the enduring joy

You bring to those who pass you in toil!


So grow on, wayside flower and seek no other view

Than the azure blue sky constant but always new

And in your dreams, bloom ever so bright

And bestow on the passers-by some of your light!

What a view. What a sky. I wish that I could fly up high And catch the clouds in my fist If I do, will they grant me a wish?
