Wallflower Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Won’t you speak to me
My pretty friend
You shouldn’t be hanging your head
Pick it up and smile
You’ll only be sad for a while

Won’t you sing
Funny boy
Come play with me
I’ve got a new toy
It sparkles in the sun’s light
I swear it never causes a fight
Won’t you sing
For me funny boy

Lovely girl you shouldn’t cry
I will pick you a wallflower tonight
I will help you speak to the moon
Then fly you into the starry night sky
Funny boy don’t frown at me
I promise that you’ll get the same thing
But there’s only one favor I ask

Put on a happy face
And beat me in a race
Come run through the grassy fields of joy
Throw a few flowers in the air
Take out the braid that’s in your hair
We’ll stick a wreath upon you’re pretty head
We’ll be wild, free, and tall
We’ll sing stories through the fall
And all because a wallflower said hey
Come play with nature today
