Underneath the clear blue sky My little sunflower grew From a tiny seed To a yellow petaled exotic bloom Attracting every eye That passed by. It danced with the Wind Losing itself in the arms of ecstasy. It tracked the sun From dawn till dusk Bending down when the moon was up Refusing to see anyone Except the one she admired, the Sun! The Summer was filled with joy But it passed by soon The approaching black clouds Would make it shudder The winter was on the edge Which made it stutter. My little plant of hope Withered faster than it otherwise would The approaching deathly winter Was making it fear And give up on life Earlier than it should. Some sunshine in the winter Filled it with courage To face death And survive the dread. Winter's cold made it wither a little, But the gentle kiss of spring Casts a spell To make it bloom again and twiddle.
