I am a Part to Full Shade flower
I can only be in Full Sun for brief times
else my petals will burn and shrivel
my roots turn dry, thirsty in hot climes

When I'm too long in the sun
protective spots appear, speckles
or you may call them freckles
Angel kisses so say some

I envy Full Sun blossoms as they
smile and glow in summer's light
flourishing in their sunny patches as I seek
a full-leafed tree where it's not so awfully bright

Ah! In the shade, I like it here
No need to cover up
So here I'll stay and happy be
Just please don't cut down my tree
