Dandelions lift their heads
from hedges, lawns, and flower beds.
They share their friendly, cheerful smile
and spread their seeds to stay awhile.
They settle in to be a friend –
make no demands – and never end.
It seems enough for them to show
to all the world their golden glow.
I see hyacinths and tulips and bright yellow daffodils.
Far on the Eastern skyline, I see snow on distant hills.
I see the green grass growing and my heart begins to sing.
For after dark of winter, I see ev’ry sign of Spring.
The dandelions hoist their heads
to flash out golden grins.
They spread their yellow sunshine.
And that’s how Spring begins.
No kings.
No thrones.
No golden crowns.
Our country has its ups and downs.
But on one thing we do agree:
There’ll be no kings for you and me.
Today’s a day to giggle and poke.
To laugh a little.
To share a joke.
To break a non-essential rule.
To have some fun!
It’s April fool!
My candle burns for all the world.
It burns for folks like me –
who simply want to live their lives
in peace and dignity.
The world’s aboil with hate and rage.
Hot anger holds the center stage.
Here is one thing I can do:
This blessing is my gift to you.
My pretty pink primrose lifts up her face,
and smiles at the golden sun.
She offers the world her sweet, smiling embrace –
her beauty enfolds ev’ryone.
I fly my country’s flag today.
I stand with those who say:
This is a land of Liberty.
No tyrants shall hold sway.
I stand with those who care for truth,
and heed the urgent call:
This is a land of Liberty,
and Justice is for All.
No kings.
No thrones.
No tyranny.
I want our country to be free.
I speak for those who want a voice.
I speak for those who want a choice.
I want smart leaders,
wise and true,
who give their best for me and you.
No kings.
No thrones.
No tyranny.
Stand up today and keep us free.
