1.Swaying at the tips of twin leaves
2.This fragile little bud—
3.What kind of flower it will become
4.I cannot know just yet5.
6.While gathering in the light
7.While stumbling through the shadows
8.Its own color and shape
9.It searches for them, earnestly, alone10.
11.Standing against the beating wind, almost to the point of breaking
12.I come only to realize your strength13.
14.In the unfolding future, a flower with no name yet trembled small
15.Because it will bloom even beyond the seasons
16.I vow to the sky: when the flower of my favorite color blossoms
17.I will go to see you
18.To that gentle smile of yours19.
20.To grow straight upward
21.Is never something easy
22.Yet in each and every continuing day
23.Its roots take hold with certainty24.
25.The reason I released the hand I held back then (that hand)
26.Was because I wanted (someday) to become like you27.
28.Even if the thirsty dream, waiting for rain, seems to wither once more
29.Because I have the “today” you gave me
30.I ask the sky: what is the flower of your favorite color?
31.Did you make it bloom too—
32.A flower of gentle hue?33.
34.In the unfolding future, a flower with no name yet trembled small
35.Now, as it blossoms even beyond the seasons
36.I vow to the sky: when the flower of my favorite color blossoms
37.I will go to see you
38.To that gentle smile of yours
