Young and thriving
four in a row,
The little sunflowers sprouted
and began to grow.

First an inch
then doubled to two,
Each day that’s what
they would focus and do.

Their necks stretched like a giraffe
leaning towards the sun,
Following its daily path like a tennis match,
observing this was so much fun.

“It is time to bloom!”
the others implored,
“Its time for your beauty
to be adored”.

Trusting their instincts
they kept reaching high,
Trusting that together
they could touch the sky.

The four- focused and reached
striving for more,
All the while working
on building their core.

Their hard work paid off
Their goals are reached,
Gentle and patient
their stress was not breached.

Today is the day
They opened up and kissed the sun,
One goal reached
but their journey not done.

A new chapter begins
on this beautiful new day,
Butterflies, bees,​ and birds
have so much to say.
