I Am A Sunflower

With loving care, like a mother, you placed me on God's kissed Earth, You sprinkled me with Nature's drops, you fed and gave me worth. You were the torch that shone alone, mothered green stalks in ascendance, You watched over my development, as I struggled free of your dependence. Now, I flower in beauty, my roots firmly secure, I turn my love to where it's stood, Your smile of reassurance , drops cascade like tears, for love, misunderstood . I open and offer up my loving nectar, to the sun and the humming birds, I cradle the silent beauty of butterflies, with petals open proud and wide, I sing my silent melodies to you as the sun elopes before our eyes, And wake in the shadows of oak trees, as I thirst for summer's skies. I am the seed of love and kindness, a sunflower, a source of pride and joy, Our love is unconditional, together now and always , for Nature to enjoy.
