The Sunflower

Sunflower, smiley vision
hosting hundreds of tiny florets-
smells like a rainbow,
tastes of light and sunshine,
like a lemon drop.
raised on a farm,
with its brothers and sisters.
At a family reunion,
dancing around an irish flag,
the sunflower peers in,
and wants to join the fun.
Too bad you can’t join,
you must sit,
and wait,
for the bees and the rain.
Flower of the Sun, don’t cry,
don’t call for the rain,
It will come,
And so will the bees,
to pollinate your florets.
Oh my dear Helianthus Annuus, it won't be long,
until the sun is back,
To smile with you.
