You were always a wildflower
Full of beauty and joy, and free
Brought inside by those who admire
Until your leaves start to whither
Those houses never felt like home
As your home wasn’t defined by walls
You belong where the birds
Sing the anthem of your journey
A journey not set in stone
Nor bound by paved roads
Going where the wind takes you
As you only thrived in sunlight
You were always a wildflower
And I’m sorry I had to let you go
