“Sunflowers” by Stephanie Boase

Two little seeds

In one big pot.

I tend your needs,

And water at lot.

 

I wait and watch.

I’m happy to spy

Two little shoots

Emerge, by and by

 

A leaf or two,

And now there’s three!

It doesn’t take long

Before you’re up to my knee.

 

Standing up tall

You reach for the sun.

Large leaves spreading,

Two grow together as one.

 

Like twins you stand

Now past my waist.

You look so grand,

As you grow with haste.

 

Buds are forming,

I’m excited to see!

I wonder how big

Your faces will be.
