The green bud stays tight until the opportune time
When its petals peak out during the warm daytime

They open slowly as they stretch for the sun
Knowing their short life has finally begun

The bees come close to taste the nectar they offer
Collecting each flower’s gifts to fill their coffer


Once the nectar had dried up, the petals began to fall
It then turns its energy into the best gift of all

Nestled deep in its core resides the gift of new life
Be it a new plant for spring or food for wildlife

The sunflowers’ legacy is not just for show
If it gets knocked down, it continues to grow

Watching the determination of a sunflower’s strife
We must always strive for the beauty of life.

Remember that one of the most beautiful attributes we can have is kindness. Try to use it often, even when others are not being kind to you.
