The Growth Of Us
Two sunflowers
On a sunny summer day
In a field amongst others like them.
Blue skies, green hills.
White clouds, the sound of a breeze.
Two sunflowers
Their small green leaves make them unique.
Two stems stretch into the dirt together.
Months pass.
Two sunflowers
In a vigorous storm
Rain pouring, thunder roaring.
Under the storm, a field of sunflowers
Fighting for life.
The field of sunflowers
Ravaged at once
Yet two sunflowers standing tall alone.
Two sunflowers
Through thick and thin-
Growth starting with two, ends up as one.
