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…

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/13/2020 7:30:00 AM Beautiful flowers Ann, love the vase. The rain is back grrrrr. Hope you're well Tom Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 7/13/2020 6:27:00 PM 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
