Sunflower blooms with
No shame in its colors just
Saying, “Bees come on”

Sunflower blooms with
No shame in its colors just
Saying, “Bees come on”

Start with a fog but
Flow into a wisdom stream
Rooted in decisions
Winter storm willed your
Early blooms harshly to sleep
Out they pop, refreshed

Not quite sure what you
Will grow into but caring
For you is hopeful
Sporting those red tips
I ain’t mad at you, naw girl
Sprout yo color proud

Natural colors exclaim
All shades pretty and welcomed
Nature made fierceness

Spring trees blooming fresh
Afro greens bursting branches
Speaking boldly joy

As I read through their
Names, I pause and say them out-
loud to get it right
Sometimes sleep play hard
To get- it be like watch
sunsets and sunrises
Fluttering de-lights
Announcing boldly, shyly
We are here as guide
