Gratitude

To have the gift of sight
to witness before me
a family of sunflowers grow,
I would offer God
all the gold in the world
to show my appreciation.

To have the gift of life
to be part of this loving family
as their routes grow deeper and stronger
and they share their soil with me.

To have the gift of love
to understand what family is for,
I will be forever grateful
as my petals shine brighter
than a summer morning's sun.
