Ode To a Sunflower
Nothing can compare to walking
Through a meadow of smiling sunflowers
Their warm beauty falls upon my face
As I wander silently alone among such a
Rich company of friends
Their radiant colours of shining yellow
And brown have passed down through
Endless eons of past summers
Their thirst quenched by the early dew
Now graced by the warm morning sun
As they try and touch the sky
What can compare to your iridescence
Summer cannot compete with your allure
Even rainbows in the sky lose their lustre
Or bouquets of butterflies floating in the summer sun
The whole realm of nature bows down in homage
To your beauty but alas your life on Earth
Is far too short all too soon you are gone
