If I were
A plant
I would be a sunflower
Not one that is dull
In the dark
but one that is
Bright in the sunshine
One that is
Sparkling
In color and tall in height
So it can be seen everywhere
In the sparkling sky
The bright
Yellow leaves and
The brown middle
Is mostly noticed
On a tall green
Leafy stem
It is seen tall in the sky
With shimmering color
To brighten one's day
