Now you can see only a little of my white dress .
By and by you can see it all .
Then my nam e will be Cherry Blos som . Many of u s live on one tree .
When we com e out , the tree looks white like sn ow .
Aft er a while the white part will fall off.
Th en a little cherry wi ll grow on my stem . When th e cherry is red , you will be glad to eat it .
Do you see m e ‘P I am a yellow
ower . My nam e is Da

Do you think I am p retty ?
You need not go far to find m e .

You can see m e on your way
sch ool .
I love little boys and girls .
They love m e too .
They are glad to se e m e .
I am brigh t like a star .

You m ay call
m e a day - star .
I go to sleep
at night .
I have a short stem .
I am not very tall .
Som e day I shall n ot look as I now .
You will hardly kno w m e then .

See how tall I am !
See the round ball at the top of my
stem .
It looks like mist .
It is m ade of little seeds .
Each seed has wings .
Som e day the wind will call them .
Th ey will all fly away .
Then you will call m e bald .

A yellow flower I often pass ,
Smiling from the dewy grass ;
Like a bright star he is seen
Shining i n his sky of green.
