***People would try to call you many names,**
But you won't care because as they said you can't be tame;
Some will tell you things nice or even ugly,
But for many you are exquisitely lovely.*
<br>
***You grow wherever you want,**
You grow freely without human touch;
Never once you asked for affection.
You stand tall and make us awe with admiration.*
<br>
***I remember my Ma' would call me,**
"How's my princess—my wildyflowy?"
I would tell her,  "Ma,  why wildyflowy, can it just be princess?!
Child remember? you are the only wildflower among these roses.*

***I am a wildflower, a very wild flower,**
I survived  the weather, whatever and wherever;
My soul will be stirred, my strength will be questioned,
But again I'll bloom  without anyone's permission.*
<br>
***But if I'll be honest, would Ma' be upset?**
I always fight my way up, no time to recuperate,
I might have the toughest roots,
but to weaken and wither is the only way to know my truths.*
<br>
