The Sunflowers

The sunflower petals open to the sunshine So tall and graceful and lovely to behold Seen at their best in prime months of the summer One can't mistake them in their blooms of gold. The sunflowers in full bloom are things of beauty Some of them even over five foot tall And of all the pretty flowers that bloom in Summer The sunflowers are the loveliest of all. By well known artists sunflowers have been painted Some marvellous paintings of them i recall But the flower that blooms so lovely in the summer Will sadly lose her beauty to the fall. Some people like roses and others like geraniums And some like the flowers on the camellia tree And some like marigold and rhododendrons But the sunflower still the number one for me. The sunflowers bloom in the warm days of summer Their beauty never fails to catch the eye The butterflies are flitting in the garden And the sun is brightly shining in the sky.
