The Smallest Moments

I Stand
                         In a field of dandelions and buttercups
                                                 I Think
                                                YELLOW
                                       The suns warms me
                                                YELLOW

                              Brushing against my bare feet
                           I spy a dandelion who's life is spent
                       It's only wish is to give yellow to a new life

                         I pick the fragile stem and hold it high
                                  Blowing softly, smoothly
                       Light white parachutes flow through the air

                               The most memorable moments 
                                      The smallest moments 

                                       Buttercup under chin
                                                YELLOW
                                          "You like butter"
