The Tale of the Sunflower

I sat there once upon a morning

Observing the world as it truly was

When the little whisper of a flower

Caused me to turn in awe

Where it was rooted longingly

Wishing for others to notice

That it was there

And it was alive but alas

They all stayed in their busy lives

And the flower cried at last

"Tis true I may be odd

And taller than the rest

But please give me a chance to shine

And I'll give it my best

For the lonely heart rooted within

Can only shrivel now

For rooted in me is a saddened heart

And to lighten it, I don't know how"

But no one except for I turned

Or even heard her song

And she bowed her head in defeat

And cried through the night long

Until the very morning next

The golden rays awoken

And the Sun lifted her face

In which these were spoken

"Darling girl please don't cry

They simply cannot see

That what lays within your very soul

Is extraordinary beauty

Let me here dry your tears

And stay forevermore

For I will listen to thee

And love you from shore to shore" 

I watched this very exchange

Which made her heart soar

And she now spends her time looking at him

With love older than folklore
