Sunflowers make a unified display;
   symmetrically joined, each one by one-
gold petals dance around a center stage;
   together, side-by-side in harmony.

Sunflower stems exhibit stable strength
   supporting well their towering large heads;
as they, with thick, broad leaves encounter wind-
   stems firmly keep them upright in the fields.

Adapting for good light, sunflowers thrive
   by using their heliotropic heads;
they turn to face the sun when changing paths-
   from East to West- and back to East again.

Framed by a landscape under sunny skies-
   sunflower scenes are lovely works of art;
bright, sunny faces, swaying in the breeze-
   creative work of nature- full and lush.

Bright, golden sunflowers- for me, mean love;
   a gift presented to me through the years.
To honor special days, my family-  
   oft send me lovely sunflower bouquets.
