I have waited all year long
To see this summer sun.
When it's warm then I can bloom
And really have some fun!
I can brighten someone's day
And pour my fragrance 'round.
When it's nice and warm like this
My blossoms will abound.
I will scatter seeds about
And multiply my summer fun.
I will make the most of this...
I want my job to be well-done.
After this the winter comes
When I'll yawn and say "ho-hums".
But while I have this chance to bloom
I will spread my sweet perfume!
