Field of Dreams

A Poem by Maggie Munday O.

Rising from the soft earth, greeting new days,

Stems reaching towards the sun’s welcoming rays.

With the poise of a monarch, the sunflowers stand,

Tranquil and lovely, proud and grand.

Within each blossom, a seedy brown core,

From which radiates bold yellow galore.

Petals, soft and dainty as a maiden’s gown,

Frame each flow’r like a gleaming golden crown.

This beauty sprouts up in row after row,

Leaves and buds intertwine as they grow.

All is bathed in the warm glow of sunbeams,

A sunflower field right out of my dreams.
