The Perfect Flower

Mediteral

I wake up in the morning

Before the sun has risen at all

I, the little cubone, have a plan

For the sweetest day of all

Out in the underbrush

A perfect little flower for her

I swear I will have it

A pretty flower for my mother

But will I make in time

Before she wakes up

Will I be able to keep the surprise?

Well, now, I haven't a doubt

I rush with quite a start

Trying to find the perfect gift

For momma's lonely heart

She once told me

If she could do things differently, she would...

I then told her

She's the perfect mommy now, it's true...

I promise I will have that flower

Whatever it takes

A perfect flower for my perfect mother!

Deep in the woods I find my prize

But in the arms of another

A charmander who wants it

Who wants my mommy's flower

Racing under the trees

Racing over rivers

Over dead branches

and under fallen towers

I will not fail

I will not falter

I swear I'll give my momma that flower!

But when I finally have my chance

I miss and I trip and I fall

Tumbling down a hill

I lose my chance in the grass so tall...

Lost and hurt

I search the land

But it's too late

Sunrise has come and passed...

I try to stand tall

I told myself not to cry

but they tears, they still fall...

With empty paws

I walk home in tears

What will I do now

To thank her for the love this year...

At the home den, She waits outside

Looking up to her, I say sorry for a start

She wipes my tear stained eyes

And hugs me close to her heart

"Oh don't you cry my baby boy

Please don't you cry sweetie

Please don't you cry no more..."

Right now, I finally see

I don't need a flower for her to love me

She then tells me,

I'm the perfect flower for the perfect mommy

I'll cry no more

I'll do my best today

To be momma's perfect flower

For this Mother's Day...
