Sunflowers

From tiny seeds you sprouted; Tender green shoots, so new and impressionable. Shoots that I serenaded and watered with love, albeit only on occasion. Then, you had bright petals blooming from your cheeks. With every smile and dash of sunlight, you stretched and you grew. You’re not quite complete yet; there’s much more growth ahead of you. Though I’m no longer by your sides to see you progress, I know when every petal forms, when another inch is added to your height, And when you reach a new, important milestone in your sunny lives. From tiny seeds you sprouted; now, with every passing day you bloom more, and from the stable ground, I look up and watch you grow. For K.O.K and K.Y.K
