Sunflower Poem by Latisha Barker

You stand grand and tall above them all
Your golden petals extend with majesty and grace
As the warmth of the sun reflect on your face

My dear sweet sunflower
I like it how you always face the sun
No matter what happens, it's your life's mission

So very much, I'd like to be like you
Make this my life's mission too
Keep my eyes focused on all that's bright
Let my light shine, like the sun's glowing light

You are a happy flower
That's how you make us feel
For this reason, to my heart you appeal

It brings joy to my heart
when I think about you
I'm thankful for God's wonderful world
I'm thankful for you

So blessed and in awe
of all God's beautiful creations
The birds, the trees, the flowers, the sky
You remind me of them all and lift my spirit high

Thank you, dear sunflower
For playing your part
And shining your light inside my heart
