                      I treasure the Sky Flower
                      That canvas the Earth with the Color of Laughter
                      Greeting Spring with Childhood Memories
                      And offering their Gold to the Honeybees

                      I swallow the Cotton Puff of Seeds
                      With my Saliva, like Rain, they Sprout within
                      Beneath the Sun I bask, their Roots entwined with my Ribs
                      As Flowers Blossom in my Lungs and out my Fingertips
                      I once listened to the Voices who claimed them to be Weeds
                      And Plucked them from my Gardens until I was Barren
                      Now I cultivate these Tiny Suns that smell of Stars
                      And exhale their Clouds with Hopeful Wishes
