I'm happy in my sunflower garden.
SUNFLOWERS
God’s
abundance wows me
from
a sprawling field of sunflowers
which
tower above
on
thick woody stalks
They
lift great ochre heads
framed
in ragged haloes
of
yellow gold
to
shine sunrays upon me
like
God’s own radiant face
amid
a communion of saints
and
I must smile back
Their
leaves
are
big green hearts
In
their midst
my
own heart
grows
and greens
How
God loves me!
He
astonishes His child
with
wondrous whimsies
Soon,
when the season ends
they’ll
just nod their weary heads
and
shed their golden haloes
on
the ground
and
bequeath their gift of seed
to
ravens of the air
which
will feast festively
upon
God’s abundance
unto
them
