Planted from a seed with love,
nurtured and loved from above
contained in Mother Nature's mirth
I sprout and peek above the earth.

I search for the healing warmth I need
to help me flourish and succeed,
I reach for the sky of azure blue
for pigments from the sun’s golden hue.

I drink droplets from the sky
it helps me grow and come alive.
The golden petals around my face
reflect a blush from the sun’s rays.

Mid-Summer heat has me smiling
as I reach higher, always climbing
to higher heights in search of the sun;
as it goes to bed, my day is done.

My feathered friends, their breakfast take
pecking away at my pimpled face;
again I follow the light up high
I give praise and heave a sigh.

I smell the chill in the Autumn breeze
as I watch the flittering of prismatic leaves.
I don’t believe I’ll grow any higher
I can’t follow the light any longer.

I bow my laden head in prayer
harvest time is calling yonder
I know my time on earth is done
my beauty fades with the setting sun.

yes, I have one plant right now that has several blossoms on it, one big one whose head is bowed already and the rest are perky small ones

they're so enjoyable and I can tell they are to you, too, Flutterwings.

THank you flower lovers.... My sunflowers, (the small or huge ones) have not flowered yet. Some of them grow as tall as 12 to 14 feet.... it takes forever to see them in bloom. They go for the sun and it's been raining alot here in Northern Maine....

I appreciate you reading and commenting.

As they reach skyward
Offering food to the birds
Nature's plan equates

This was just beautiful Maggie, and I bet they are lovely when the stand to attention soon. They are one of my favorites too!

The State flower of Kansas is also, and sadly, known as a noxious weed along the roadside. Then they turn around and plant domestic seed for harvest.

Go figure!

Enjoyed!
