Sunflower
Faded colors
Wilt and willow
Petals drift down
People tread
The petals dead
The world is spinning ‘round
And I turn towards the sun
And feel its warmth upon my face
And I stand up straight and tall
My colors radiant in grace
And I cared for by green thumb
And the soil fertile and new
I wake myself to the rising sun
And a sky that’s bright and blue
Clouds drifting far from my mind
And a subtle breeze blowing by
I am picked by green thumb
I knew for my beauty, I must die.
