The Sunflower
by Louise Alexandra
I spoke to you last night as your image filled my eyes,
Life is lived through pain with smiles that overcome heart's sighs,
So I told you that I missed you and I know I always will,
Wishing you could help me know that love continues still.
There's a sunflower in the garden, and yet I hadn't seen,
Petals stretch towards the sky, flash of yellow in the green,
Hand reach out towards the stem to pull the flower near,
Was the raindrop held within the crown an echo of a tear?
