The Sunflower

Stand like a sunflower he said,
Reach for the sun
Whenever you can.
Spread your petals,
Drink in the warmth‎ and
Never cease chasing;
Dreams of love,
Dreams of comfort,
Dreams of all you desire.
There will be sallow days,
Days of pain and anger,
And days when end is easier.
‎There will be days of hurt,
Days of lost direction,
Clouds and storms surrounding.
But those days will end,
And the breaking morn will beam
It's rays of hope and peace.
A new ‎dawn is coming!
A new era about to break!
The battles won and distant.
Draw from your deepest place
The strength to change,
The strength to breathe new life.
Douse self doubt,
Cast out a defeated soul.
Devour the love surrounding,
‎Seep it through your skin.
Course it through your very veins,
This gift of kith and kin.
And grow tall my love,
Your face turned toward the light,
And like a sunflower, he said,
Reflect it big and bright!

The Heart Weeps

The heart weeps
The body creaks
All feels lost in confusion.
The flame so low
A distant glow
Flickering almost failing.
A world of ache
Strong will to break?
Looking for a reason.
To toil ever onward
Driving forward
To make it to the end.
Find strength my love
In God above
And all your friends surrounding.
Succumb to faith
Rejoice in love
And know that these provide
The will to win
To see the goal
To never die within.
When love seems blind
And so unkind
Take solace in the giving.
Take rest, be nurtured
Feed your soul
And look towards the future.
Feel my arms in yours
My heart surrounding
My soul a shield protection.
Dry your tears on me
And you will see
That two can combine
To lead the way
And end dismay
The power of love surpassing.
