On the other side of the fence, a wild yellow flower grows, sweet smelling so intense, It takes first place in show If only I could reach it I'd take it just for me Go home & showcase it and all its fragile beauty Yet it is out of my reach Like a star up in the sky, a rare shell on a forbidden beach I will stretch & I'll still try Straining past the fence post, touching it with fingertips I realize what I need most, is just to stop admire it
