I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home. Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement. Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.). Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,I moved more into poetry following that period.Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.
Be a Sunflower
Be a Sunflower,
Standing tall,
Shining forth,
Letting the sun kiss
your inner warmth.
Be a sunflower,
Reaching high,
Glowing through,
Letting happiness
shine on you.
Be a sunflower,
Staying strong,
Rich with pride,
Letting happiness
be your guide.
