Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatern

A Flower's Song

A flower facing sun am I.
I show to all a sunny face,
for light I love and that is why
I face the sun to feel its grace.

While lilting in the summer breeze,
a flower facing sun am I.
I have no thorns, but wish to please
by dancing underneath blue sky.

I smile at every passerby,
and wish no harm for anyone.
A flower facing sun am I,
who brightly stands till day is done.

No woe to others do I bring.
A sunflower until I die,
I hope to make your spirit sing.
A flower facing sun am I.

John Watt July 12, 2020 at 5:48 PM Andrea, in my earlier comment I somehow left out how sunny and positive this was to me. I also love sunflowers and think you did them justice with this poem. I love the lines "for light I love and that is why / I face the sun to feel its grace."
