Dear Sunflower
Do not bend your head
The beaming sun shines in your face
Don’t let the wind blow your petals away
Grow wonderfully tall
Taste the flowing rainfall
Standing like a mural against the solitary wall
Lost in a sea of sunflowers
You can’t help but sway
A field of gold whilst in bloom
As the sun goes down
Your weary head turns down
You start to frown
For you can no longer bloom
You cry as your seeds leave your gorgeous face
Your yellow petals slowly become dry and frail
You can no longer stand tall
Soon you won’t resemble a sunflower at all
Your yellow petals fall to the floor
I cry a tear as you no longer stand tall
Soon it will be as if you never lived here at all
We will see a relative of yours next year
Swaying in the yellow sea
I will remember this is where you used to be
The golden sunflower standing tall
Like a mural on a solitary wall
Your beautiful seeds will forever fall
A fond farewell
Toria
