Sunflower

Yellow rays of sun shining through the red of day,
petals on petals of gaining the courage once lost.
She's made it through the harshest of times,
broken, brushed aside, left alone in a sea of thorns.

Being a sunflower amongst roses, yellow in the red,
she is a beauty like no other, scars and all.
Healed and healthy, thriving when no one believed,
she is you, and you are her, stand tall and proud.

When the reds fade during dusk, yellows still remain,
go forth my little sunflower and thrive forevermore.
That be the name of the heavens pouring out,
screaming hallelujah, everything becomes new.
