Sunflower Sapling

SUNFLOWER SAPLING

     I am growing yellow blossoms, patina of petals shining golden.
     My flowers silently smile to praise glowing Sun if not hidden
    behind platoon of clouds, flowers seek sun rays till sunset.
   Blooms gaily gaze moving heads as Sun roams slow from East to West.
  
   Being in quest of sunbeam, bright or dim, flowers are smart to turn
    heads throughout day always facing dazzling blazing shiny Sun.
    Glossy glistening shy flowers are shaken by gentle mild breeze.
    Me bathed by amorous shower or sun rays while zephyr tries to tease.

    Blossoms are drooped, dried when my short life ends in one season.
    Drones and bumble bees stick to withered blooms as seeds got ripen.
