"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
