WILD by Becky Hemsley


"WILD"
by Becky Hemsley

You’re a wildflower darling
You cannot be tamed
They recognise your beauty
Though they do not know your name
You sing a song of sunshine
Befriend butterflies and bees
You dance amongst the grasses
And you sleep beneath the trees
You’re bright but unassuming
You are delicate yet tough
You’re rooted but you’re ready
For when winds of change do come
And they meet you in the forest
And they’ll marvel at the way
You remind them of their childhood
And easy, carefree days
So they’ll make of you a bracelet
And they’ll weave you through their hair
They’ll wish upon your petals
And then blow you to the air
And as they watch you fly
They’ll wish that they could fly like that
They’ll realise that you have a freedom
They have never had
So they’ll pick you for a posy
And they’ll tie you at the stem
So they can take a little bit of freedom
Home with them
But home is where the heart is
And your heart cannot be still
So home for you is not a vase
Upon a windowsill
Remember, you’re a wildflower
Born to ride the wind
To plant your roots on new horizons
Each and every spring
So don’t ignore your wild heart
‘Cause freedom’s what you breathe
See, that is why they love you so -
And why you have to leave
