Sunflower

A lovely Sunflower that is me
prettier than a plant, stronger than a tree.
I look up at the sun
and follow it around.

It's fire is what I need
like water, earth and the air that I breath.
with the elements with me
I'm safe and sound.

If one fails me, though,
I miss it: that much I know.
Even if I try to avoid it, there's no use:
my head hangs low.

So a Sunflower, that's me:
there's not much else I need to be.
Just take what I need and
feed every other bee.

and spread beauty and light
for the world to see.
