 The
Sunflower Fairy
Fields of yellow faces following the sun
Impossible to count them
each and every one,
Waving gently in the breeze they make a sunny
sigh.
Stretching up their heads they smile at passers by.
Lots of little
fairy helpers for the sunflower’s needs
They
are the hidden secret for scattering the seeds
Hiding amongst the
petals opening at dawn
Working all day to scatter, so new flowers
will be born
And weary from the day’s work, at dusk with failing light
They
close the petal shutters to rest throughout the night.
Should you
be a believer, next time you pass, please try
To spend
some time alone, amongst the faces to the sky
You may
be the lucky one, for a magic sight to share
A sunflower
fairy’s smile is a ray of light so rare.
