Longing like the sunflower which follows the sun Daily caress life's power; quich, follow the sun The head tracks the sun's journey across the blue sky The heart receives hourly its niche following the Son Let the sunflower's example be life's lesson Admire its tenacity's twitch follow the sun Behind clouds or fog no matter how weak the light Sunbeams draw without a glitch, follow the sun On life's last pathway, Sunflower seeks out the Son Not indigenous to earth's rich, only follows the Son Just some thoughts..

Hi Sara.... in ghazal the refrain should be the same throughout. The sun and the son are different....Nevertheless, it is very nice.
