Sunflowers

sun

Reaching up tall

Shining bright

Full of their own beauty

In their prime

droop

Drooping

No longer beautiful

Straining under the weight

But here is where

The important work begins

For if a plant only flowered

It would be quite lovely

But eventually fade

And be forgotten

But if a plant not only flowers

But produces seed

It fades and dies

But

The seed continues

Next year, forever

Never forgotten
