How splendid to be a sunflower

Bright as the midday sun

With petals of gold and a big, strong stalk

I’d laugh and have lots of fun

Every time I hear this song, I think of my special ray of sunshine, my daughter, Melanie.

You can meet her by clicking on her picture.

In the morning dew as the sun came up

I’d drink in its warming rays

And sip at the droplets of the dew

Stretching in sunflower ways

Throughout the day as the sun reached its peak

My petals and leaves would rise too

It would be such a glorious feeling

Such that I never knew

Then as the day turned into the night

And the sun began its descent

I would bow my head as I thanked the Lord

And know I was heaven sent
