Yes, I said it and it's true!


I am but a tiny bud...

A tiny bud so near your door,
hoping you'll walk by and smile.
I've been growing, oh so slowly,
waiting for the longest while!

If you'll come out and smile at me
or even notice that I'm here,
I'll burst in bloom like magic
and last for all the year!

I'll be your favorite flower,
the one that gets your eye.
I hope that you will smile at me...
if not, I think I'll die.
