Smiling Faces In a Vase

Smiling faces in a vase
I smile when e're I see one
Like puppets on a string
those golden flowers 
a smile doth bring
I feel that any moment 
they will burst into a song
Whenever they are here
there is singing all day long
I gaze at them for hours
Unlike any other flowers
I sometimes hear their giggles
and their gentle chitter chatter
Whether growing in the soil 
or standing tall inside a vase
                                    
     ~  Sunflowers  ~
  somehow make me feel 
     as if I’m not alone
    as if I really matter
  When they are here with me at home  
          
           Those 
       smiling faces 
         full of love                    
                                                                                             
                             
                            melt my heart 
                
                                                  make me smile
                                   
                                     spreading love                               
                                                                   here all the while…

And I thought I was the only one who always sees those smiles; now I know there are two of us Ann. I feel I am in terrific company here.

Thanks Tom, they always bring a smile to my face and sunshine to my life. It has been a lovely sunny day here in Eastbourne, although the wind was getting stronger by the end of the day. Sorry to hear you had rain, but I suppose the plants and gardens do need it. Keep well my friend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
