If I was a flower
And you were the tree
If I look up at you
I know you're shading me
On a winters day I'm cold
Wishing you'd give me sun
And in summers burning peak
The heat you can't outrun
I lay there basking in the still cool
As the sap sweats from your skin
Did I complain all this time?
When a lick of sun
Was all that I wished for?
Thinking too far for myself
Oh selfish flower sin!
You are stronger than me
Catching the heavy snow
And gathering animals all round
Useless really is all I am
I house not a single insect
A pretty petal, been and gone
