The Sunflower
i feel like a little sunflower
sittin in the dirt,
standing in the grass
tryin to shine my love
all over you,
tryin to make my odor rise
and smother you with sweetness.
let me sprinkle this pollen
this seed I would drop,
this extra touch of me,
all over your face and your hands,
your pretty brown body.
let me plant some happiness
in your skin.
i feel like a little sunflower
standing in the grass
hollerin "pick me! pick me!"
put me in your window
to brighten up your home.
set me in a porcelain vase
and kiss me as you pass by.
i feel like the brightest sunflower
with the deepest aroma of love,,
sittin in the dirt
standin in the grass
watchin you walk by.
don't look so sad.
i'm here to make you smile,
to make you laugh and feel good
in spite of it all.
it's a pretty day.
pick me!
please!
