The golden sunflower is a flower of beauty
bright green leaves and stems so long
she will shine so bright in the morning sun
petals as fragile as the words of a song

Care for her so tenderly she will grow so tall
till her face is reaching high in the sky
nourish her with water and give her some love
she will give up her seeds for she is not shy

Only then will she wilt and begin to die
scattering her seeds over the barren ground
head bowed low and nearly touching the floor
she will rise once again to amuse and astound
