It is not Easy Being Yellow
“ It ain’t easy being green.”
Kermit The Frog
It ain’t Easy Being Yellow
I push through concrete
You can’t keep a good dandelion down
Don’t confuse me with a happy face
Yellow sometimes hides a frown
You can find me in the city
Yes, in the country as well
Forget pushing up daisies
There are stories I must tell
It’s not easy finding cracks
But it’s the sunshine that I seek
Dandelions are tenacious
Even if you think we’re weak
Yep, I push through concrete
You can’t keep a good dandelion down
Don’t confuse me with a happy face
Yellow sometimes hides a frown
On a grey and lonely road
I’m the only colour you might see
I’m the embodiment of purpose
Take time to look at me
Don’t confuse me with some weed
Other flowers aren’t as strong
Beautiful filled with purpose
Above the concrete I belong
A parking lot at Walmart
Or some deserted highway
I push my way through concrete
It seems I’m made that way
Let me float above the road
As my yellow turns to white
Yes this is my happy face
Amidst this world I find delight.
