Dear Sunflowers

Dear Sunflowers 

It's been so long—since we've spoke 

I'm beginning to forget  

It's been awhile—since I've seen 

The face I've never met  

Where—did all those days go? 

Racing through the fields 

Not running from but running to 

Things, that only kids could ever do 

it's been so long—where have I been? 

I must have changed—but so had you 

I went back—to that field  

But did not find you 

Your petals—once so lovely 

Beginning to brown  

Your face—once so happy  

Beginning to frown  

Where—did all those days go?
