"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do." – Helen Keller Sunflowers spin pretty stories Inviting quiet dreams, growing Memories, prayed in allegories Portrayed by hearts knowing… The wise old owl isn’t wise When it loses its life to greed Never heeding God’s advice To always give to those in need The sly old fox isn’t truly sly Spending its time stealing life From critters not ready to die Gentle creatures without strife The hungry bear never hugs Instead bringing fear to souls Refusing to live on slugs and bugs Deepest forest paths are their patrols Sunflowers are brightest gold Born beneath cobalt skies who show Despite their beauty, they still get old Proving that everything dies, even so… Because of the brightest Son We can live forever in paradise When all our lives are said and done, We’ll meet the One who paid the price… For everlasting life with Him Who loved us more than we deserve We sing of Him in every hymn, Forever loving – I’ll always serve… The greatest flower, the shining Son This is the beautiful that won’t be outdone!
