Windflowers, my father told
me not to go near them He
feared them always said they
carried him away Windflowers,
I couldn't wait to touch them
to smell them I held them
closely Now I cannot break
away Their weet bouquet disappear
Like the vapor in the desert
Take a warning, son Windflowers
their beauty captures every
young dreamer Who lingers near
them Ancient windflowers I love you
