you are my sunflower
dotingly opens to the sun
standing tall, bold and true
shining brightly
even on the darkest of days
oh, how I love thee!
you are my sunflower
adoring the sun
with soul on fire, heart with grace
blooming cheerfully
after the longest wait
oh, how I love thee!
you are my sunflower
taking its life from the sun
guiding, illuminating my mornings
caresses warmly with gentle rays
after a sweet night embrace
oh, how I love thee!
you are my sunflower
and oh, how I love thee!
let me be your sunshine!
(My cheerful Pat in a sunflower garden)
P.S.
For the lovely kate, https://aroused.blog/ who loves sunflower
And more love everyone amidst the current health scare.
May we find our sunflower, one who will be our source of happiness and optimism.
May we all be like sunflowers; may we have the power to grow from darkness into light

Lovely poem. I am like a sunflower and like this sun. When it is days at a time without the sun I start to wilt a bit.
