The Sunshine Song

I was twisting branches to impress the other kids And I made flowers look the way that I thought other people might like But I found solace in the words that came from my own sticks And I heard voices in the air say these are pretty twigs A long time ago I was a tree [I was a tree with flowers in a range of colours but] But now my lovely sunshine song exists So let's all pray that we make our songs like this I was cleaning yesterday and throwing out the trash And in the bins I saw there was some value in the toys that I had So I took them out and stared At Mr Teddy Bear Wondering if you were ever mine But what a silly question he said Because teddy bears don't talk to humankind A long time ago I was a tree I was swinging in the breeze but then I started to begin To sing And now my lovely sunny song exists And now my lovely sunny song exists So let's all pray that we make our songs like this And will the reveries of melodies that whistled through the beetles and the bees Be nothing but the memories of happy leaves and sleeping by the sea But then the sun he spoke to me and said that "I've been shining for you all along" And so I wrote a piece for him a said "I wrote a poem called The Sunshine Song"
