Sunflower

Bright tiny yellow petals circling all around, Tall green stalks firmly planted on the ground. A thousand little seeds adorn my rounded heart Huge green leaves ready to play their parts. I shall compare myself to this glorious bloom whose bright colors paints the sunlit noon. Standing upright and ready to follow the sun In faith and deeds to the Holy Blessed One. Small in the eyes of many my stature may be But I have many tiny petals, each a little bit of me Little tokens of ability the Almighty bestowed To put to good use, to make other’s heart aglow. These thousand little seeds I hold in my breast each one to help me grow, to face life’s many tests Tiny bits of knowledge, some experiences I hold Each a tiny little brick for a future yet untold. leaves that flutters in the winds that summer blow sturdy stem standing straight refusing to fold or bow Yet with all it splendor and glory that abound its roots is still firmly planted on the ground.
